Do I need a visa for Kenya from Ukraine?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Ukrainian travellers must obtain an electronic travel authorization online before going to Kenya. Nothing done at the airport replaces this prior step.
Kenya has moved its admission process online: from Ukraine, the application is completed on the official portal before boarding. The online authorization is the route to follow for Ukrainian nationals. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Ukrainian nationals are not exempt for Kenya: they must request an electronic travel authorization (e-Visa) before leaving. The application must be made ahead of the trip; you should not count on regularising your status on arrival.
How and where to apply
From Ukraine, the application is fully online via the official portal etakenya.go.ke. You create an account, complete the form, upload the supporting documents and pay online. The approved authorization reaches you electronically; no consular appointment is needed for the standard process.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Ukrainian passport valid for at least six months, a compliant photo, your itinerary, a return-flight booking and proof of accommodation. The exact amount is set by the official portal and may change: check it for the current fee. Also verify whether a yellow-fever certificate is required based on your route.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed: submit several days before departure to cover any surprises. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the approval, as it may be required at boarding and at the Kenyan border post. Check every field entered before you submit.
Common mistakes
The main pitfalls: using an unofficial intermediary site that overcharges, applying too late, or presenting a passport with insufficient validity. Ensure the name entered matches the passport exactly and confirm health requirements on the official source.
