Kenya FAQ
How long will the authorization take?
Usually up to 3 working days. We recommend filing 3–5 days before your flight to be safe.
I'm also doing a safari in Tanzania — do I need anything else?
Yes, Tanzania requires a separate visa. Kenya's eTA is generally single-entry but allows return from Tanzania/Uganda/Rwanda under certain conditions. We're happy to arrange the Tanzania visa too.
How long does the eTA allow me to stay?
Up to 90 days, single entry. The authorization must be used within 90 days of issue.
Kenya eTA — what you need to know
Kenya scrapped its visa system and replaced it with an electronic travel authorization (eTA) that's mandatory for all travelers, including infants and children. You apply online on the official government portal before travel, attaching a passport photo, passport scan, flight details, and accommodation address. We complete and file everything for you in Hebrew, after a human check — so you're not stuck with an English form before your safari.
When to apply
We recommend applying at least 3–5 working days before your flight. The authorization is valid for a single entry and a stay of up to 90 days, and must be used within 90 days of issue. It's important to submit details exactly as they appear in your passport — a mismatch can delay approval.
