Since 1 January 2024, Kenya has replaced its visa system with an electronic travel authorisation (eTA). Here are some essential tips to avoid fraud and scams when applying for an eTA for Kenya:<\/p>\n
The official website issues the ETA for Kenya, but private visa agencies can help you. Beware of sites that imitate the appearance of the official website.<\/p>\n

If a site charges excessive fees, it is probably a scam. Also check that the charges are justified at the time of payment.<\/p>\n Never provide sensitive banking information outside official or secure payment processes. During a secure payment, a new page appears and a double check is carried out (validation of payment by telephone with 3D secure, for example).<\/p>\n If an offer seems too good to be true (such as ultra-fast processing at a low price), you should remain vigilant. In general, the deadlines are similar to those on official websites, where the agency informs you of the deadlines depending on your date of arrival, so that it can offer you a valid document during your stay.<\/p>\n A legitimate site should provide clear and verifiable contact details. Beware of sites that only provide online contact forms.<\/p>\n At the bottom of the page there should be a \"contact us\" form, information about the company and at least the general terms and conditions of sale.<\/p>\n If you have any doubts, contact the Kenyan embassy in your country directly for information.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since 1 January 2024, Kenya has replaced its visa system with an electronic travel authorisation (eTA).
