Kenya eTA for U.S. passport holders, reviewed by APVI before submission.
Upload your passport scan, photo, travel details, and required trip information. APVI reviews your Kenya eTA file before submission and emails the approved eTA once issued.
Standard, five-year multi-entry, or expedited.
All three are Electronic Travel Authorizations. The right one depends on how often you travel to Kenya and how soon you need it.
Standard Kenya eTA
The usual authorization for a single trip to Kenya. Valid for travel within 90 days from issuance.
Five-Year Multi-Entry eTA
Offered to American nationals who expect to visit Kenya multiple times over five years.
Expedited eTA, where available
Kenya may offer an expedited government option that can be immediate where it is available for your application.
APVI's service fee of $99 per applicant is charged separately from the Kenyan government fee, and both are shown before checkout.
