Worth knowing
- The official Kenya eTA costs $30 and is applied for only at etakenya.go.ke. Agent sites charging $90 or more are filling in the same form for you.
- Kenya no longer runs an eVisa. Any site still selling a 'Kenya eVisa' is out of date or not genuine.
How long it takes
Apply before you travel. Kenya asks for the eTA to be approved before boarding.
