Kenya entry requirements for Israeli citizens
Short answerIsraeli citizens need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before travelling to Kenya. The official source doesn't state a fixed stay length. Check it before you travel.
- How long you can stay
- The official source doesn't state a fixed stay length. Check it before you travel.
- What you need
- Approved Kenya Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA)
- Passport valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival date, with at least one blank page
- Passport-type photo or selfie
- Confirmed accommodation booking and onward/return travel itinerary
- Good to know
- Standard eTA fee is USD 30 for a single entry; the eTA itself is valid for travel within 90 days of issuance (you must enter Kenya within that window). The actual length of stay granted is set by the immigration officer at the point of entry (Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Regulations, 2012, reg. 30(3): a visitor's pass is capped at 6 months from the date of entry, at the officer's discretion) — there is no single published guaranteed number of days for eTA holders, so no fixed maxDays is shown here.
