Kenya eTA Policy for Italian Citizens
Kenya's visa policy for Italian citizens requires advance application before travel. The electronic travel authorisation (${ETAW}) is applied for online and linked to your passport — no embassy visit and no visa sticker. Approval is typically issued within 3–7 business days. The government fee of $30 is set by Kenya immigration authorities and is subject to change. PassportsAndVisas.com monitors policy updates daily and will notify you of any fee changes after your application is submitted.
Italian citizens should apply for their Kenya visa at least 10 days before departure to allow time for processing and any document corrections. Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates. The Single-Entry eTA is issued, and the 90-day stay period begins on arrival.
Traveling to Kenya from Italy — What to Know Before You Go
Planning a trip to Kenya from Italy involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major Italy hubs to Kenya's main international airports, with flight times varying depending on your departure city. We recommend booking refundable tickets until your visa is approved — PassportsAndVisas.com's service fee is charged only after visa approval, so you are not committed financially before your visa is confirmed.
Passport preparation is the most important step. Your Italy passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Kenya, and at least 1 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite Italy passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.
Once your Kenya eTA is approved it is linked electronically to the passport you applied with — there is nothing to print. Travel on that same passport; carriers check it before boarding. Keep the approval email as a backup.
What Italian Citizens Need Before Applying
Applying for a Kenya visa as a Italian citizen through PassportsAndVisas.com takes 5–10 minutes online. You will need your Italy passport (valid for 6+ months), a digital passport photo meeting Kenya's exact specifications, and your travel dates. Our system guides you through each field and flags potential errors before submission.
The most common reason Italian citizens face Kenya visa rejection is passport photo non-compliance. Kenya requires a white background, the size shown on the government portal dimensions, taken within the last 6 months, with no glasses. Our proprietary photo-check system automatically validates your photo against Kenya's requirements before we submit — catching the errors that cause the majority of preventable rejections.
After submission, your application is reviewed by a Italian-specialist on our team — someone familiar with the specific patterns that trigger scrutiny for Italy passport holders. We submit to Kenya Immigration within 2 hours of receiving your complete file. You will receive email updates throughout the process, and your approved visa PDF will be delivered to your inbox — typically within 3–7 business days.
