How this tool works
We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.
How we checkeTA required. Australian passport holders need a Kenya eTA before the journey starts.
Every visitor, including children, needs an approved electronic travel authorisation before the journey starts unless Kenya's exemption lists cover them, and those lists do not include Australian passports. Apply on etakenya.go.ke; the authorisation is not final permission, since admission is decided at the border. Smartraveller says to apply online and pay for the eTA before arrival, and to check the eTA site for exempt categories.
