To apply for entry into Kenya in 2026, most travelers now utilize the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system, which replaced the traditional eVisa. The primary document required is a valid passport with at least six months of validity from your date of arrival and at least one blank page. You must also provide a recent passport-sized photograph with a clear, neutral background. Supporting documents typically include a flight itinerary (showing confirmed return or onward travel) and proof of accommodation (such as a hotel booking or an invitation letter from a host in Kenya). Depending on your purpose of travel, you may also need to provide a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate if arriving from a high-risk country. For business travelers, an invitation letter from the Kenyan company and their registration documents are required. The process is entirely online via the official government portal, and once approved, you must carry a printed copy of the eTA to present at the port of entry alongside your physical passport.
