Who can apply for Kenya ETA?

The Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is available to citizens of all countries who wish to visit Kenya for short-term purposes such as tourism, business, or transit. Some nationalities in the East African Community (EAC), including Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda, are exempted from a Kenya ETA.

Applying for a Kenya ETA is simple and quick. Applicants can do it online on the Kenya Immigration Services website. The entire application process includes 03 steps:

Step 1: Fill out the online application form with essential personal information, passport details, and travel plans.
Step 2: Review all the details in the application form and pay the ETA application fees.
Step 3: Kenya Immigration Services may ask you to email us the supporting documentation. After you complete all the necessary steps, we will handle the rest. Your application result will be emailed to you within 03 business days with normal processing service. Those who wish to obtain their Kenya ETA sooner can consider our Rush ETA service, which takes only 05 business days to process an ETA.

Travelers should verify their eligibility and meet the requirements outlined by the Kenyan Immigration Services before initiating the ETA application process.
