To enter Kenya in 2026, most international travelers—including citizens from the US, UK, and India—must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before their trip. Kenya replaced its traditional eVisa system with the eTA to streamline the arrival process. You will need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, a recent digital photograph, and proof of your travel itinerary (flight tickets and hotel reservations). Additionally, travelers arriving from countries with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission must present an International Certificate of Vaccination. While COVID-19 restrictions have largely been lifted, it is still recommended to carry proof of vaccination or a negative test if you show symptoms upon arrival. For certain nationalities, such as Indians, a Single-Entry Tourist eTA is the standard requirement, with processing times usually taking about 2 to 3 days. You should also ensure you have sufficient funds for your stay and a return or onward ticket. Carrying a printed copy of your approved eTA is highly recommended to avoid any delays at the immigration counter in Nairobi or Mombasa.
