Planning a single visit to Kenya for tourism, business, study, medical care, or family visits? This travel authorization covers most short term purposes. The application requires a clear passport scan with at least six months validity, a recent photo, confirmed accommodation, and travel bookings showing your arrival and departure. Processing times range from normal 3 to 5 days to super rush for urgent needs. For complete details on requirements and fees, visit the Kenya Single Entry eTA page. The single entry eTA stays valid for 90 days from issuance and permits a stay of up to 90 days after arrival, except for transit which allows only 72 hours. Every traveler including infants needs their own approved eTA, and extensions are granted only on a case by case basis. Final entry is always at the discretion of immigration officers at the port of entry. Double check your eligibility and make sure your purpose of travel matches the eTA type you select. Keep a printed copy of your eTA and travel documents ready when you arrive. Always verify the latest rules before you travel.
