Kenya no longer issues visas at the airport or through embassies. Instead, all travelers—including Ecuadorian citizens—must apply for Kenya eTA online before their trip.

This rule applies to everyone, including adults, children, and even infants. The Kenya eTA is a digital travel permit that allows entry into Kenya for short stays. It’s not a visa sticker placed in your passport. Instead, it’s an electronic document linked to your passport and delivered by email once approved.

To ensure a hassle-free journey, make sure to apply for Kenya eTA in advance and carry a printed copy or digital version during your travel.

Type of Kenya eTAs Available for Ecuadorians

While the traditional “visa types” have been simplified under the eTA system, your purpose of travel still matters when applying. The Kenya eTA is single-entry only and can be used for, but is not limited to:

• Tourist travel

• Business visits

• Family or personal visits

• Transit (passing through Kenya to another destination)

• Medical reasons

Kenya eTA Processing Time for Ecuadorian Passport Holders

Here’s a clear breakdown of how long it takes to process a Kenya eTA, depending on the processing option you choose:

Kenya eTA Validity, Stay Duration and Extension for Ecuadorians

For Ecuadorian citizens, the Kenya eTA is valid for 90 days from the date it’s approved, so you must enter Kenya within that time. Once you arrive, you can stay for up to 90 days. 

If you want to stay longer, you can apply for an extension in Kenya and stay for up to 180 days total. The eTA is single-entry only, so if you leave Kenya, you’ll need to apply for a new one to come back.
