Do Mexican Citizens Need A Visa For Kenya?

No. Mexican citizens who are planning a trip to Kenya aren't required to apply for a visa if they wish to go for short stays (tourism). On January 2, 2024, the Government of the Republic of Kenya, through the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, published the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration (Amendment) Regulations, 2023, which eliminated VISA requirements for foreigners traveling to Kenya and replaced them with Electronic Travel Authorization ("ETA").

Kenya ETA is a semi-automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors who intend to travel to Kenya and is authorized by the Government of Kenya. Thus, all non-Kenyan visitors, excluding those with proper resident status like as work permits, passes, or permanent residencies, must apply for a Kenya ETA online at least three days before departure. However, the immigration authorities at the point of entry make the final judgment on admittance to Kenya and subsequent passport validation.

A Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) can be obtained by applying through the Kenya Immigration Services website. For minors under the age of 18, the legal guardian, parent, or accompanying adult is responsible for filling out the application.
