We already know you are looking at Kenya on a GBR passport. You will not be asked for it again.

Who we are. EntryNova is a private company. We are not a government department, not an embassy and not affiliated with any authority. We cannot grant or refuse permission to travel — we show what the authority itself publishes, link to it, and help you prepare a complete application.

What British citizens need for Kenya

To enter Kenya, British citizens use the Kenya Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), issued by Republic of Kenya — Ministry of Interior and National Administration, State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services, Directorate of Immigration Services.

Online travel authorisation that replaces the visa for most travellers to Kenya. One application per traveller, filed on the official site or app.

  • Your passport must have at least one blank page.

How long it takes

The authority states typical processing of 1–3 day(s). Processing times are not guaranteed, so apply early.
