Unfortunately this website is more complicated and harder to use than their previous system. I cant even update my travel dates. I had a eTA approved on 18th June , but cancelled my flight due to their protests. Their phone number doesn't work and they dont respond to Emails. I already spent the money and it was approved, but there is no way for me to even contact them.
That sounds strange. The amount of information needed is reduced to less than half. It takes only 10 minutes to fill out and the approval returns usually within minutes. Make sure you are using the web address I have in the video.
@@Worthtobeseen sir I have been denied entry to kenya twice ( I had a främlingpass ) now I have a Swedish pass should I still answer with yes ( the second question )
Does it matter which passport i use to enter kenya (i have no east african passports). Like with they make the process harder if i use my usa passport or central american passport? Does it matter?
I can imagine that some passport holders may be looked at more closely depending on the diplomatic relations. I can’t say what would be better but look into what relation the countries may have and make sure there is no conflict.
@@MishelleOchieng The booking of Accomodation is not a must as long as you have the confirmation.. The flight I Believe you need to pay before you get a proper ticket on most airlines.
I would recommend using confirmed documents in the application. On the other hand the ETA is valid 90 days from the date of approval. So if you might change the date for travel it will still be ok as long as the 90 days have not passed.

+@MBaba01 Hello. To you know the airline you are travelling with? Usually the have a letter prefix fx KLM has KL0001. If there isn’t any flight nr then I would just give the prefix and 0001. Or contact the airline and ask.
The you will have to also provide their adress, eventually a invitation letter and their Kenyan Citizen IDs. It is much easier to book at least one night at a hotel and use that confirmation.
What if i change my departure plans? like i plan to go to kenya, then go to tanzania (by land bus) later, but if i need to book a flight early to go back to the usa for any family emergency reason if it arises, can i update my departure? Or can I just leave with a plane ticket at the airport? Is there any issue
The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. There should be no problem changing the entry within these days. Be aware though that if you apply for a single entry you are only alowed to enter once. So no day trip to Tanzania or Uganda or such unless you have a dual entry visa or apply again.
@@Worthtobeseen do you know if I can update my departure on their website at a later date? Or do I not need to update with them as long as it's within the 90 days?
Blessed afternoon. I used this new website and the charged 36usd for tourist but the old website tge charged 51usd. Please do you know why the visa fee for tourist visa is reduced on this site?
Hi Sir, averagely how long does it take to get a evisa to Kenya. I have a fliggt for tomorrow and i think i used a scam website to apply for the website. I used ivisa and it says it takes 72 hours to get the visa
I am sorry if you where scammed.. It is important to use the official site. I have received many e-visa sometimes within a few hours. We are now before a weekend so it could be delayed until Monday.. I hope for you the best.
A Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is valid for a single entry to Kenya, but can be used for multiple entries if the visitor temporarily leaves and re-enters one of the following EAC Partner States: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.

I have my vaccination card always. I have not received information that it’s not needed anymore. I would make sure to be vaccinated for yellow fever if planning a trip to Kenya.
+@MerhawiPetros There can be various reasons. It could be damaged? Or maybe the photo you sent was not clear? There might be some issue with the registration of it? And also it needs to be valid at least 6 months after your return. Regards.
This sight to my knowledge is for Kenyan entry only. If you need visa to more East African countries I belive you either meet to apply separately or use the option on the official ordinary immigration sight for Kenya.
Do they want the Booking Confirmation of the whole month or just one night confirmation? Coz I’m staying Kenya whole December and send them screenshots of first night hotel confirmation!
I want to get airbnb but it will cost more online how do i get around this problem do i need to have a 7 day reservation for the time im coming or can i just get oneday
I will be traveling to kenya in December this year, I will stay to a friend house, what documents my friend have to give me so I can complete while applying for the visa?
It’s way more difficult when invited to stay with a local friend. Identity card, invitation letter, a valid adress and such.. I would recommend to book a hotel room for at least one night and use that as your Accomodation information.. Maybe you need one night in Nairobi on arrival. ?
How long does it take for them to process your ETA. Could it take up to 10 days? It's like the maximum amount of time I should leave before applying and going
Usually your flight-nr will be seen on your ticket.. Starting with letter similar to the airline you are traveling with.. Example for KLM would be KL2045
I have applied many many times and I experience this to be so very much easier than before. It takes me less than 10 minutes to finish and almost half the price. I find it very good.
Well explained
Thank you. I am glad to hear. :)

Do they take fingerprints during the arrival at the airport ?
They usually do yes. And picture.
I applied mine on 25th dec and i have not received it
During holidays it might take longer.
Do you have to pay if applying from another African county ?
It Will depend on from witch country.
My husband application went through but decline because I don’t attach invitation. Tried to call all contacts no answer. What are disappointment 😢
You need to have either a invitation or hotel booking. The hotel booking is the easiest to use.
Sir, can we use flights tickets which are not confirmed ? The same to hotel reservation? Please? Can we ask before two months of our trip?

It should work the same. In the beginning you choose if it’s for a single person or a group.

Do they want the Booking Confirmation of the whole month or just one night confirmation? Coz I’m staying Kenya whole December and send them screenshots of first night hotel confirmation!
I usually only know one or two nights in advance so I use those. It has been no problem.

You will have a fantastic time in Kenya. I’m landing myself on the 4th december.
I want to get airbnb but it will cost more online how do i get around this problem do i need to have a 7 day reservation for the time im coming or can i just get oneday
You don’t have to have all nights ready. As long as you have confirmation of some nights.
@ im only coming for one week
I will be traveling to kenya in December this year, I will stay to a friend house, what documents my friend have to give me so I can complete while applying for the visa?
