Why Visit Kenya?
Travelers from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar commonly visit Kenya for Nairobi business meetings, conferences, family visits, safari holidays, and coastal breaks. The online ETA process helps Pakistani applicants prepare their passport, photo, travel itinerary, and contact details before departure.
Applicants departing from Karachi or Lahore should check that transit times, flight references, and arrival dates match the documents uploaded. If your Kenya trip includes a conference or business meeting, keep your invitation letter and local contact information ready for review.
Documents Required
Prepare clear digital files before you apply. The most common delays come from unreadable scans, cropped photos, incomplete accommodation details, or travel dates that do not match the supporting documents.
Pakistani passport
Your passport should usually be valid for at least six months from your planned date of entry and should match the name entered in the ETA form.
Digital photo
Use a recent color photo with a plain background. Avoid glare, filters, heavy shadows, hats, or glasses that hide the face.
Accommodation or host details
Provide hotel booking details, lodge confirmation, host address, or business contact information in Kenya where applicable.
Travel itinerary
Keep your arrival date, departure date, airline booking, and local travel plan consistent across your documents.
Kenya ETA Fees
Fees can include the official government charge, payment processing, and optional service support. Review the total before payment and keep your receipt.

Processing Time and Entry Rules
Most complete Kenya ETA applications are reviewed within a few days, but timing depends on document quality, travel season, public holidays, payment confirmation, and whether extra checks are required.
Approval does not replace normal border checks. On arrival, travelers may still need to show a valid passport, ETA approval, return or onward ticket, accommodation details, and funds for the stay.
Common Rejection Reasons
Blurred passport image: Upload a full, readable bio page without cut edges or glare.
Name mismatch: The ETA name should match the passport, including surname order and spelling.
Weak travel proof: Missing hotel, host, business, or itinerary details can slow review.
Late application: Applying too close to departure increases stress if extra checks are requested.
Travel Tips
Save your ETA approval offline and print a backup copy. Keep passport, return ticket, accommodation, travel insurance, and local contact details together in your hand luggage.
For first-time visitors, the best time depends on your route. Wildlife viewing is popular from July to October, beach holidays are strong around Diani and Mombasa for much of the year, and Nairobi works well for business travel year-round.
Detailed Application Guidance for Pakistan Citizens
Pakistani travelers should start with the passport because every other detail depends on it. Pakistani applicants traveling for conferences, meetings, or family visits should keep invitation details clear. If a host or company is involved, the name, address, phone number, and purpose of travel should match the information entered in the online form.
After submission, monitor your email for status updates and requests for corrections. If a correction is requested, respond with the exact document requested rather than resubmitting unrelated files. Keep your payment receipt, application reference, and travel documents together until you have entered Kenya.
Before applying
Confirm passport validity, photo quality, travel dates, accommodation details, email address, and payment method.
After applying

At arrival
