Attending a conference, seminar, or trade fair in Kenya requires a specific eTA for that purpose. The application asks for a clear passport scan valid for at least six months, a recent photo, confirmed accommodation, travel tickets, and a formal invitation letter from the event organizer. Single entry permits a 90 day stay within a 90 day validity period, while multiple entry covers a full year with 90 days per visit. Standard processing takes about 3 working days, with faster options available for urgent travel. For complete requirements and application details, visit the Kenya Conference eTA page. Only US citizens qualify for the upcoming 5 year multiple entry option. Extensions require immigration approval through the Directorate of Immigration Services in Nairobi before your authorized stay ends. Carry a printed copy of your eTA along with your invitation letter and travel documents when you arrive. Double check that your invitation letter contains all required details and matches your passport exactly before submission. Apply at least 7 to 10 days before travel to avoid delays. Always verify the latest rules before you travel.
