Why apply for an eTA for a stopover by boat in Kenya?
There are several reasons why it may be necessary to apply for an eTA before disembarking by boat during your stay in Kenya:
- Simplifying the process: The Kenya eTA is a practical solution for travelers wishing to visit Kenya without having to go through the traditional visa application stage. In addition, the application can be made online, greatly simplifying the process.
- Saves time: Obtaining an eTA is usually faster than applying for a visa at an embassy, with an average processing time of just a few days.
- Savings: Applying for an eTA is usually cheaper than paying for a traditional visa.
However, the eTA is not provided automatically and must be sought for before arriving in Kenya. It is thus advisable to learn about the qualifying requirements for this electronic travel authorization.

To be eligible for Kenya eTA, travelers must meet certain conditions:

3. Pay the application fee: Finally, you will need to pay the eTA application fee. These fees may vary depending on nationality and type of travel (tourist, business or transit).
