How long is a Kenya ETA valid for?

The Kenya ETA is valid for up to 90 days from the date of issuance. Depending on the ETA type, the travelers can stay in the country for a different period. Currently, there are three types of Kenya ETA available for eligible nationalities:

  • Kenya Tourist ETA: This is for individuals visiting Kenya for tourism purposes or casual visits to their families. It allows a single entry into the country for up to 90 days.

  • Kenya Business ETA: The Business ETA is granted to foreigners traveling to Kenya for business purposes. It allows a single entry for business-related activities, such as meetings, conferences, or negotiations. Holders of this ETA can remain in Kenya for up to 90 days.

  • Kenya Transit ETA: If you are transiting through Kenya to another destination, you may need a Transit ETA. This is applicable for a 03-day stay while in transit.

The Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is compulsory for all international visitors, except passport holders from the East African Community (EAC) countries, including Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Every eligible traveler needs to complete the eTA application process at least a week before embarking on their journey. Applicants under 18 must have their legal guardian, parent, or accompanying adult complete the application. It is recommended that families submit their applications collectively.
