German passport holders must obtain an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before traveling to Kenya. Apply online at etakenya.go.ke. The eTA costs USD 30 and is valid for 90 days per entry. Processing takes up to 72 hours, so apply at least a week before travel. Kenya no longer issues visas on arrival or sticker visas at embassies for most nationalities.
You need a passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival with at least 1 blank page. Upload a passport photo, your passport bio page, and a return or onward ticket when applying. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you arrive from or transit through a yellow fever endemic country. Direct flights from Germany do not trigger this requirement, but connecting through Addis Ababa or other East African hubs might.
The eTA allows single entry. If you leave Kenya and want to return, you need a new eTA. For East Africa travel, consider the East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100) covering Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda on a single authorization.
