There are very few things that can go wrong with your ETA/eVisa application and in general they are processed very quickly.
That said things can go wrong….here’s how to avoid it.
Getting your ETA
- Make sure your passport details match EXACTLY what you put on the ETA/eVisa form;
- Ensure your passport has sufficient time on it BEFORE you complete your application;
What happens next
- Your ETA will be processed, usually quite quickly 1-2 weeks;
- It would seem that most applications are processed in arriving soonest order, so if you’re really organised don’t worry if it’s taking some time;
On arrival in Kenya
- Your ETA is a pre-approval, the actual visa is stamped into your passport on arrival;
- The max time you can have your visa valid for is 3 months for first issue;
- e.g. If you say you’re coming to Kenya for 10 weeks they will add a 3 month visa, if you say less you will get less;
