Most visitors to Kenya now require an eTA instead of a visa on arrival. Apply at least 72 hours before travel through the official government portal. You will need a passport valid for six months, return ticket, and accommodation details.

Processing typically takes 2-3 business days. Keep your approval email and reference number handy for immigration.
