V isas and Entry Requirements All visitors, including infants and children, must have an approved Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before travelling to the Republic of Kenya.

This visa allows travel between Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda on one application. However, Kenya does not form part of this arrangement and requires its own separate visa.
