IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (eTA) IN KENYA

The Government of Kenya implemented the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system in Kenya.

Kenya eTA is a semi-automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to Kenya. An eTA offers permission to travel and is authorized by the Government of the Republic of Kenya. An eTA does not determine whether a traveler is admissible to enter Kenya. Immigration officers will determine admissibility upon travelers’ arrival.

The eTA application collects biographic information and answers to eligibility questions from the traveler. eTA applications for Kenya should be submitted at least 3 days prior to travel to ensure adequate time for authorization. Travelers can submit their applications up to 3 months prior to travel. It is highly recommended that travelers apply as soon as they have booked their accommodations and transport tickets.
