What’s changed
eTA exemptions
Kenya’s Legal Notice 93 of 2025 lets most African passport holders visit without a visa or eTA, for 60 to 180 days depending on the country. Most other visitors still need Kenya’s online eTA. Kenya’s own eTA site may not show every exemption yet, so check the IATA Travel Centre before you fly.
Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months after your trip, with 2 blank pages.
Carry a return or onward ticket, your accommodation details and proof you can pay for your stay.
Apply only on the official site: Kenya eTA. Copycat sites charge extra.
Check whether you need a yellow fever certificate, especially if you travel from or through Africa or South America.
Airlines decide boarding with Timatic: check your route on the IATA Travel Centre.
