Do I need a visa for Kenya from Belgium?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belgian travelers must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for Kenya before departure. It is applied for online through the official portal.
Kenya requires Belgian citizens to obtain an electronic travel authorisation in advance, before boarding. Travelers from Belgium apply on the official etakenya.go.ke portal, with no consulate visit. No entry is possible without this approved authorisation.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, every Belgian passport holder must hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) to enter Kenya, including for tourism. This online authorisation replaces the traditional visa and must be approved before your flight. It is mandatory even for a short stay.
How and where to apply
Belgians apply directly on the official etakenya.go.ke portal. You create an account, upload a photo, your passport bio page and trip details (flight, accommodation), then pay online. Avoid intermediary sites that imitate the government portal.
Documents and fees
Have a passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, a compliant digital photo, a return ticket and an address for your stay in Kenya. The exact eTA fee is not guaranteed here: check the official price shown on etakenya.go.ke when you pay. Payment is made by bank card.
Processing and tips
Apply several days before departure, as the authorisation must be approved before boarding. Check whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required based on your travel history. Print the approved eTA and keep a digital copy.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is booking on an unofficial site that overcharges for the service. Many travelers leave it too late or upload a non-compliant photo. Always confirm current conditions and health requirements on the official sources.
