Do you need a visa?
Yes, in the form of an electronic travel authorisation (eTA). All foreign visitors, including Greeks, must obtain it before arrival. The passport should remain valid for at least six months beyond the intended date of entry.
How and where to apply
The eTA application is filed online on Kenya's official portal (etakenya.go.ke): account creation, form, photo, passport page and payment. The approved authorisation is sent electronically and presented with the passport on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for six months, a recent photo, proof of accommodation or an itinerary, and where required a yellow-fever vaccination certificate. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the amount shown on the official portal at the time you apply.
Processing and tips
Submit the eTA application several days before departure, as approval is not always immediate. Carry a printed copy of the authorisation and check health requirements (yellow fever) depending on your regional itinerary.
Common mistakes
Common errors: arriving without an approved eTA, a non-compliant photo or passport page, or a last-minute application. Always verify current requirements on the official portal before booking.
