Kenya Visa
Washington DC Embassy

All travellers applying for a Kenya ETA are required to purchase travel health insurance under the Kenya Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA).

Passport Visas Express.com will obtain the insurance policy on behalf of travellers as a part of your Kenya ETA submission. The $52 fee for this required travel insurance is included in the consular fees. 

After placing your order for an eTA visa (Electronic Travel Authorization), you will be provided with list of questions to answer for your visa. Once we have your this information, we will electronically submit your visa application.

The eTA visa is issued electronically. Your eTA visa will be in the form of a one page document that we will email to you.

IMPORTANT: Your passport must have more than 6 months validity remaining after your travel date in order to apply for a visa.  It must also contain at least one blank visa page for entry & exit stamps.

Please scan a clear and legible color copy of the information pages of your passport: Passport Scan Example.  This must be uploaded, or emailed to us, during the application process. Please do not take a picture of your passport info page- it must be scanned instead.

If your passport has been amended (name changed, validity extended—found in the back pages of your passport) you will also need to scan and upload along with your passport information pages.
