Step-by-step process
What to do, in order, before you submit. Verify final details on the official resource linked below.
Pick the exact visa type
Match your real purpose to the official category first. Tourist, student, business, work, family and transit files need different proof.
Start with the official eTA route
Kenya is portal-first for eTA-style travel authorization. Use the official portal, not copied forms.
Upload clean trip evidence
Prepare passport, photo, accommodation/host, return ticket or itinerary and purpose details in upload-ready format.
Save approval and travel copy
Keep the eTA confirmation/approval with your passport and verify entry requirements before travel.
Open the official requirement page
Start from "Kenya eTA how to apply page" and treat it as the final rule source.
Complete the form or online portal
Use "Kenya official eTA portal" for the application route. Save confirmations and reference numbers.
Build the evidence file
Prepare identity, purpose, funding, sponsor, invitation, employment/business and Ethiopia return-ties evidence in a clean order.
Check timing and appointment route
Confirm appointment, biometrics, fee, passport submission, courier/collection and tracking steps before booking travel.
Do a final consistency review
Names, passport details, dates, addresses, sponsor amounts and purpose must match across every document.
What to watch for in this guide
- Check whether your route is portal-first, PDF-based, appointment-based, or visa-center based before preparing documents.
- For Ethiopian applicants, funding clarity, invitation consistency and return ties are often the areas that need the most organization.
Official forms and links for Kenya
Open these after you know your visa type. Requirement pages tell you the rule; portals are where you apply; PDFs are forms/checklists only when officially provided.

FAQ
Is VisaMenged an official source?
No. Use VisaMenged to organize the process, then verify final requirements on the official source.
Can VisaMenged fill forms?
VisaMenged can help prepare information and review consistency, but applicants should verify and submit through official portals or centers.
How early should I prepare?
Start as early as possible. For appointment-based applications, treat anything under 45 days as a timing risk.
What if I had a previous refusal?
Do not reuse the same file unchanged. Address refusal reasons with clearer evidence and changed circumstances.
