Do I need a visa for Kenya from Brazil?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Brazilian travellers must obtain an electronic authorisation before flying to Kenya; there is no visa-free tourist entry.
Kenya has replaced the traditional visa with an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) that every Brazilian citizen must request online before boarding. The application is made on the official etakenya.go.ke portal, ideally before booking a flight. The passport must remain valid for at least six months after arrival.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Brazilian national cannot enter Kenya without prior authorisation. The country now issues an eTA that serves as the tourist authorisation and must be secured before departure, regardless of the entry point (Nairobi or Mombasa airport, or a land border).
How and where to apply
The application is made online only, on the official etakenya.go.ke portal. The traveller creates an account, enters their itinerary and uploads the required documents. No visit to a Kenyan consulate is needed for a tourist stay.
Documents and fees
Have ready a passport valid for at least six months, a digital passport photo, an accommodation address and a return ticket. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the official portal for the amount in force at the time of application. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required depending on your itinerary.
Processing and tips
Submit the application several days before travel, as processing time can vary and is not guaranteed. Pay only on the official site to avoid intermediaries that add surcharges. Save or print the approval before presenting yourself at boarding.
Common mistakes
The most frequent errors: counting on a visa on arrival at the airport, entering a name that differs from the passport, or using an unofficial third-party site. Check every detail before submitting and keep the confirmation received by email.
