Wondering if there's a mobile app to make this application easier? Here are the various solutions for obtaining the electronic authorisation you need to enter this magnificent African country.<span id=\"more-1646\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Understanding ETA Kenya and its importance for travellers<\/h2>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">The Electronic Travel Authorisation, also known as the <strong>ETA Kenya<\/strong>, is a legal requirement for all foreigners wishing to visit Kenya for short stays. Valid for a maximum period of 90 days, it allows you to arrive in Kenya to benefit from visa exemption.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the advantages of having an ETA for travelling to Kenya?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Saving time: the procedure can be completed entirely online, with no need to travel to a Kenyan consulate or embassy.<\/li>\n<li>Simple: it only takes a few minutes to fill in the online form with the required information.<\/li>\n<li class=\" translation-block\">Peace of mind: once obtained, the <strong>ETA<\/strong> is automatically linked to your passport, so there's no need to forget the document when boarding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Mobile applications for applying for an ETA in Kenya: myth or reality?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">At present, there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=ke.go.etakenya.app\">Android mobile application dedicated to <strong>ETA application for Kenya<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. The Kenyan government has announced that it will soon be working on a version for Apple and iOS.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, several web platforms have been developed to facilitate these online applications. You can fill in the form and pay the application fee via a secure site. These sites are generally adapted to smartphones and tablets, allowing users to navigate easily and comfortably while making their application.<\/p>\n<h3>Beware of online scams and fraud<\/h3>\n<p>Beware of platforms that offer a private service for an excessive sum (more than USD 100 for a request!), as these may be attempts at fraud. Only use recognised resources to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you apply for an ETA for Kenya step by step on an official website?<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Get the information you need<\/h3>\n<p>Before starting the ETA application procedure, make sure you have :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A valid passport with an expiry date more than 6 months after the date of entry into Kenya;<\/li>\n<li>A valid e-mail address to receive electronic authorisation;<\/li>\n<li>A bank card to pay the application fee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 2: Fill in the online form<\/h3>\n<p>Access the site and follow the instructions provided. You will need to provide information such as :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your full name, as it appears on your passport;<\/li>\n<li>Your gender (male or female);<\/li>\n<li>Date and place of birth ;<\/li>\n<li>Current nationality ;<\/li>\n<li>Passport number and date of issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, you may be asked additional questions about your stay, such as the duration and main reasons for the trip, as well as the contact details of your hosts or planned accommodation.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Submit the application and make the payment<\/h3>\n<p>Once the form has been duly completed, you will be asked to check the accuracy of all the data entered before paying the electronic authorisation fee. The consular fee is 34.09 US dollars (<span class=\"currency-convertor\" data-amount=\"34.09\" data-currency=\"USD\">31 &#8364;<\/span>).<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Receive electronic authorisation<\/h3>\n<p>Once your request has been validated and payment made, you will receive an e-mail containing your ETA. Processing times generally vary from 24 hours to a few days. We recommend that you apply for your ETA at least 3 days before your departure date, to avoid any waiting time problems.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you planning to travel to Kenya and considering obtaining an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization)?
