Application quality checklist
- Enter your passport details for Kenya exactly as printed — names, number, and expiry must match.
- Pick the option that matches your trip — Kenya offers Tourist ETA (Single Entry for 90 days), Business ETA (Single Entry for 90 days), Transit ETA (Single Entry for 72 hours).
- Upload clear, legible files: Kenya decisions are document-based, so unreadable scans trigger most follow-up requests.
- Check your travel dates against the visa validity (commonly 60 days) before you submit.
For Kenya, most avoidable delays come from data mismatches and unclear uploads — not payment — so review every field against your passport before checkout.
Current planning data (August 1, 2026)
Typical processing is 5 working days. On rush requests, faster handling has been possible in around 3 working days, subject to document quality and authority workload.
