If you’re planning a trip to Kenya, you’ll likely need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before you travel. Here’s a simple guide to help you through the process.

Who Needs an eTA?

All travelers, including infants and children, must apply for an eTA before starting their journey to Kenya.

✅ Exemptions

You do not need an eTA if you are:

• A Kenyan Permanent Resident or holder of a valid Work Permit and Passes.

• A traveler with a valid Kenya re-entry pass or similar written authority.

• A citizen of East African Partner States (Burundi, DRC, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda) for stays up to 180 days.

Other exemptions apply for certain nationalities (90 or 60-day exemptions), transit passengers, ship crew, UN/AU/ADB officials, and holders of some diplomatic/service passports.
