The standard single-entry visa costs US$51. This visa allows you to enter Kenya once for purposes such as business, tourism, medical, or other reasons.
The single-entry visa is valid for three months from the date of issue.
Multiple Entry Visa (MEV):
If you need to enter Kenya multiple times, you can apply for a multiple-entry visa.
The cost for a multiple-entry visa is higher than that of a single-entry visa and can be around $100 (USD)2.
Kenya Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (eTA):
As of 2024, the Kenya eTA fee is set at USD 30 (Ksh 4,500).
The eTA fee is uniform across all eligible nationalities and does not vary by eTA type.
Applicants can pay this fee online using major credit cards like Visa, American Express, and Master Card, as well as Visa and MasterCard debit cards.
If you’re planning a trip to Kenya, make sure to check the official Republic of Kenya government site to apply for your electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) on the Kenya eVisa website. Safe travels!

Valid Passport: Ensure that you have a valid passport with at least six months of validity from your intended date of entry into Kenya. Additionally, your passport should have at least two blank pages for visa stamps.
Passport-Size Photo: Obtain a recent passport-size photo with a white background. This photo will be required for your visa application.
