Visa & Entry

Ethiopian passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Kenya. Apply online through etakenya.go.ke before departure. The eTA costs USD 30 and allows a stay of up to 90 days. Processing takes 3 business days on average. Print the approved eTA and carry it with your passport.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from entry and have at least 2 blank pages. Upload a passport scan, recent photo, proof of accommodation, and return or onward ticket when applying. The eTA replaced the old eVisa and visa on arrival systems in January 2024.

Ethiopian Airlines has multiple daily flights from Addis Ababa to Nairobi, making this one of the busiest African corridors. Yellow fever vaccination is required since Ethiopia is in the endemic zone. Carry your ICVP. Kenyan shillings can be withdrawn from ATMs at JKIA on arrival. USD cash is widely accepted at hotels and safari operators.
