What documents are required for eTA Kenya?
Before applying for an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization), travelers must prepare a set of essential documents:
- Your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival. There should be no less than 02 blank pages for stamping by the immigration officer.
- Digital scan of your passport - it is the information page that is important, but you will need to scan the entire document.
- A recent digital photograph of you
- A copy of your return ticket with travel dates and accommodation reservation
- A commonly used email address
- Means of payment – we offer credit or debit cards, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, or Amex.
- Depending on the purpose of the visit, supporting documents like a business letter for work trips or a cover letter may also be necessary.
Applicants should ensure all documents are clear and legible, as incomplete or inaccurate submissions can result in delays or rejection. The eTA application process is straightforward, as it can be completed online.
After submitting the application form along with the required fee, approval is typically granted within a few business days. Once issued, the eTA must be printed or saved digitally and presented upon arrival in Kenya. You should double-check the latest requirements on the Kenya Immigration Services website to avoid any last-minute surprises.
