Kenya, a country full of adventure, wildlife, and stunning landscapes, warmly welcomes travelers from around the world.
For Estonian citizens looking to explore this amazing destination, getting there is now easier than ever thanks to the Kenya eTA system.

No need for embassy visits or long paperwork—Estonian travelers can apply for Kenya eTA fully online, right from home.
The eTA is ideal for short visits for tourism, business, family reunions, medical purposes, and more, making your journey to Kenya smooth, fast, and stress-free.

Important: You cannot use the eTA for employment or long-term study in Kenya. If you wish to stay longer or for other purposes, please contact the embassy directly.

Kenya eTA Requirements for Estonian Passport Holders

Before applying, gather the following documents:

• A valid Estonian passport valid for at least 6 months with one blank page
• A recent passport-style photo clear, with a light background
• Your travel itinerary (flight bookings)
• Proof of accommodation that may be hotel booking or host invitation
• A valid email address
• Credit or debit card to pay the fee
• Yellow Fever certificate 
• Additional documents supporting your travel purpose

How to Apply for the Kenya eTA

You can get a Kenya eTA in just 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Fill Out the Online Form

Go to the Kenya eTA website and complete the online application. You’ll need your passport, travel details, passport photo and other supporting documents.

Step 2: Upload Documents and Pay the Fee

Upload the required documents and pay the eTA fee using a credit or debit card.

Step 3: Get Your eTA by Email

After approval, your eTA will be sent to your email. Print a copy and carry it with your passport when you travel.

Processing Time and Fee for Estonian Citizens

After you apply for the Kenya eTA online, it usually takes up to 3 - 5 working days to get approved. It's a good idea to apply at least a week before your trip. 

All travelers must pay a fee for the eTA, and this payment is made online during the application. To know the exact fee you can visit the Kenya eTA fee page.

Kenya eTA Validity and Stay Duration for Estonians

The Kenya eTA is valid for 90 days from the day you get it. Once you enter Kenya, you can stay for up to 90 days. It is a single-entry permit, which means if you leave Kenya, you will need to apply for a new eTA to return.

Want to Stay Longer in Kenya with an eTA?

If you wish to stay in Kenya longer, you can request an extension of up to 90 extra days. However, you must visit an immigration office before your eTA expires.

Don’t Overstay! If you stay too long, you may face problems such as fines, being stopped at the airport, or being denied entry to Kenya again. To avoid this, always request an extension of time or apply for a new eTA if your plans change.

Can You Transit Through Kenya?

Yes, but you will still need an eTA. However, if you’re staying in the airport for less than 72 hours and not clearing immigration, you might not need one. To be safe, apply for a Kenya Transit eTA if:

• You have a layover longer than 12–24 hours
• You’re switching terminals or clearing immigration
• You’re leaving the airport
