Do I need a Kenya transit visa for a 7-hour layover?

A Kenya transit ETA is not required for those connecting flights without leaving the airport (international connections). On the other hand, if you have a 7-hour layover in Kenya and want to leave the airport, you must obtain a valid ETA

The Kenya transit ETA is typically issued for layovers to other destinations that do not exceed 72 hours, allowing travelers to exit the airport and stay in Kenya for up to three days. Firstly, check Kenya ETA requirements to learn whether you can apply for a Kenya transit visa online. In case you are not eligible for an e-visa, you should visit the nearest embassy or consulate to apply for an appropriate visa.

Applying for a Kenya transit ETA is quick and straightforward with a few simple steps:

Step 1: Fill in the online application form with necessary personal information
Step 2: Pay the visa fees and send us the required documents
Step 3: Wait for the result of your application. Remember to download your visa before your departure.
