As of 2026, Kenya has fully transitioned away from traditional visas to the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system. For British citizens, the standard eTA fee is approximately $30 USD (roughly £24) plus a small processing fee, totaling around £30–£35. This is a significant reduction from the old $50 visa fee. However, if you use third-party "concierge" services for a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround, the price can rise to £80–£100. The eTA is typically processed within 3 working days and is mandatory for all visitors, including children. Travelers must apply via the official "etakenya.go.jp" portal before departure. If you are planning a multi-country trip, the East Africa Tourist Visa, which allows travel between Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, remains available for $100 USD (approx. £79). It is vital to ensure your passport has at least six months of validity and that you have proof of your return flight and hotel bookings ready for the digital application.
