Kenya has replaced visas with an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for most nationalities — apply online at etakenya.go.ke before travel. Processing is typically fast, but apply well ahead and check current policy for your nationality.
Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry and has sufficient blank pages for stamps.
Attending or exhibiting at a trade exhibition normally falls under the business visitor category. Confirm the correct category for your nationality and purpose.
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is commonly required for entry into Kenya. Verify current health requirements well before travel and vaccinate in good time.
Confirm the visa category and requirements that apply to your nationality and your purpose of travel — business visitor for exhibition attendance.
Apply via the official Kenyan immigration portal or through a registered visa application centre. Avoid unofficial intermediaries.
Pay the applicable fee through the official channel and retain the payment reference. Track the application status and respond promptly to any queries.
Carry printed copies of every approval, booking and confirmation while travelling. Do not rely on digital copies alone.
An official show invitation letter can be issued to support your visa application. It is not a guarantee of visa issuance — the decision rests entirely with the Kenyan authorities.
