Our guide to the Kenya visa from Denmark
Yes, travelers from Denmark must obtain an electronic travel authorization before leaving for Kenya. The application is made online on the official portal (etakenya.go.ke), for a stay of up to 90 days.

Do you need a visa?
Yes. For a tourist stay in Kenya, a Danish passport is not enough on its own: you need an electronic travel authorization obtained before departure. It covers a stay of up to 90 days in Kenya. The airline and immigration officers may ask to see it, so keep a printed copy and a version on your phone.

Where do you apply for a visa for Kenya from Denmark?
An e-visa for Kenya is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Denmark on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Denmark but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Kenya take?
72 hours
Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.
Processing times and tips
The observed processing time is 72 hours. Apply as soon as your dates and accommodation are confirmed rather than in the last few days before your flight, so that you can correct a mistake or provide a missing document. Keep the authorization with your passport throughout the trip, as it may be checked at boarding and on entry.
Before you fly, and at the border
Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Common mistakes
The most costly mistake is using an unofficial intermediary website that charges far more for the same procedure: only the portal (etakenya.go.ke) is official. A simple typo in your passport number or name can also make the authorization unusable. Finally, the 90-day stay is a maximum: do not confuse it with the authorization’s period of validity.
