How long can visitors stay in Kenya without a visa?

As of January 1, 2024, foreign nationals, regardless of nationality, can enter Kenya without a visa for tourism or business travel for stays up to 90 days. However, travelers must obtain a new Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before entering Kenya.

The Kenya eTA is an electronic travel authorization that allows people of almost any nationality to visit the country. It will replace the existing Kenya eVisa system and all other Kenyan visas for travelers in 2024.

The eTA is currently the sole entrance permit available. Kenya does not issue tourist visas. If you wish to come as a tourist, you must obtain an eTA. It is essential for travelers of all ages, including children.

Activities permitted with the Kenyan eTA include:

• Vacations
• Business activities
• Visiting friends and relatives
• Medical treatment

It is also applicable if you are passing through Kenya in transit. If you plan to spend your layover at the airport, you will not require an eTA.

If you want to visit Kenya for any other reason, contact your nearest Kenyan Embassy or Consulate.
