Kenya has moved away from a visa system to Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). All visitors including infants and children who intend to travel to the Republic of Kenya must have an approved eTA before the start of their journey.
Kenya eTA is a semi-automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to Kenya. An eTA offers permission to travel and is authorised by the Government of the Republic of Kenya.
The eTA application collects biographic information and answers to eligibility questions from the traveller. eTA applications for Kenya are usually processed in 3 days and there is an urgent processing service, however, it is recommended applications be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to travel to ensure adequate time for processing.
