Kenya Visa
Visa-Free Travel to Kenya: Starting from January 2024, Kenya has announced that it is now visa-free for people from all over the world. This means anyone can visit Kenya without needing a visa. However, every person, including infants and children, planning to travel to Kenya needs an approved Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before they travel to Kenya.
The Kenya eTA is a system that checks if visitors can travel to Kenya. It's approved by the government but doesn't decide if a person can enter Kenya. Immigration officers will make that decision when travelers arrive.
The eTA application requires you to provide personal information and answer eligibility questions. It's important to submit your application at least 3 days before your travel date for proper authorization. You can apply up to 3 months in advance, and it's recommended to do so shortly after booking your accommodations and transportation.
