Entry Requirements for Kenya
Travel to Kenya requires an approved Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure. The ETA is mandatory for most international visitors and must be obtained online prior to arrival.
We strongly recommend applying at least 14 days before travel to avoid delays.
