The Government of Kenya has lifted the requirement for an entry visa into Kenya, starting January 2024. All international travelers are no longer required to obtain a visa from an Embassy or Consulate before arrival. The entry visa requirement has been replaced with an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). All travelers, except citizens of East African countries and foreigners who fall under the exemption category, must complete eTA and receive the authorization before traveling to Kenya. The eTA application can be accessed via: www.etakenya.go.ke

Please note that the AADFI cannot directly procure the eTA for any prospective applicant.  Therefore, participants are advised to submit their nomination forms promptly so that they can make necessary travel arrangements in a timely manner.
