Do I need a visa for Kenya from Tunisia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Tunisian travellers must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before going to Kenya, applied for online on the official portal.
Kenya has replaced the traditional visa with an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) required of almost all visitors, including Tunisian nationals. The application is made only online at etakenya.go.ke before departure. There is no consular submission for this tourist stay.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: a traveller holding a Tunisian passport must have an approved eTA before boarding for Kenya. This electronic authorisation serves as the short-stay tourist visa. The passport should be valid for at least six months beyond arrival.
How and where to apply
The application is made exclusively online at the official portal etakenya.go.ke, with no embassy visit. You open a case, enter your trip details and upload documents before paying online. Apply yourself on the government site to avoid intermediary fees.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Tunisian passport valid for six months, a digital passport photo, your itinerary and proof of accommodation in Kenya. The exact fee is not confirmed here: rely on the amount displayed during the application on the official portal. Payment is made by card directly on the platform.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed, so submit your eTA several days before the flight to allow for any checks. Download the approved authorisation and keep a printed copy for check-in and arrival. Also verify whether a yellow fever certificate is required depending on your routing.
Common mistakes
Common errors: using a site imitating the official portal, misspelling the name versus the passport, or waiting until the last minute. Do not confuse the eTA with the old visa on arrival it replaced: without an approved authorisation, boarding may be refused.
Best time to travel
Kenya's climate varies by region, with dry seasons generally being more suitable for travel. The period from June to October is often recommended to avoid heavy rains, especially for safaris. Avoid the long rainy season, typically between March and May, which can hinder travel plans.
Main arrival airports
The main international airports in Kenya are Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and Moi International Airport in Mombasa. These airports handle most international flights and are the primary entry points for travelers from Tunisia.
Documents to prepare
For an e-visa application, a valid passport with at least six months' validity beyond the entry date is required, along with proof of return tickets, travel insurance covering the stay, and supporting documents for accommodation or resources. The application must be completed online prior to departure.
