From 1 January 2024 the eVisa has been replaced by an eTA (electronic travel authorisation) for travel to Kenya.<\/p>\n

All visitors*<\/strong> including infants and children who intend to travel to Kenya, must have an approved eTA before\u00a0<\/strong>the start of their journey.<\/p>\n

Visitors should apply for the eTA via\u00a0www.etakenya.go.ke<\/a><\/p>\n

The fee is $34 USD.<\/p>\n

All eTA applications for Kenya should be submitted at least 3 days prior to travel<\/strong>, to ensure adequate time for authorisation. It is possible to apply up to 3 months before travel.<\/p>\n

You must have 6 months validity on your passport, two blank pages and an up to date passport style digital image that you can submit during the application. You will need a payment card \/ Apple Pay to complete the authorisation process.<\/p>\n

The eTA takes up to 3 days to confirm and is valid for single entry to Kenya. You will need to include details of your flights and where you are staying so it is a good idea to apply after you have confirmed your travel arrangements.<\/p>\n

We recommend you check up-to-date information by visiting the UK FCDO pages and the official Kenya Government pages.<\/strong><\/p>\n
