Use the government link
The Directorate of Immigration Services says it developed and operates the Kenyan eTA. Its immigration.go.ke page links applicants to etakenya.go.ke 2.
The eTA portal says applications must be completed only on that website or in the official app. Each traveller needs an application 1.
Fees and processing
The official FAQ says a normal application starts at US$30 and may take up to 72 hours. Immediate expedited processing costs an extra US$100 1.
A Kenya Civil Aviation Authority circular records the standard eTA fee as US$30, excluding payment charges 3.
Checks before payment
If you paid another site
Check whether the official portal holds an application under your reference and passport details. Do not submit a second application until you know whether the first one reached the government system.
Contact your bank if the seller hid its service charge or did not provide the promised service. Use the eTA contact details published on immigration.go.ke for application questions 2.
