                                Kenya has always been a favorite destination for the best wildlife safari and game drives in the world. To make entry into Kenya easy for tourism, business or transit, the government has introduced the Kenya online visa or Kenya eta (which stands for Electronic Travel Authorization).
                            </p>
                            <p>
                                In the past travelers had to apply for the traditional Kenya visa which required the applicants to visit the embassy to submit the application and documents and passport to get a physical visa stamp before traveling to Kenya.

                                    The Kenya eta is an online travel authorization offered to travelers who need to visit Kenya for short stays for reasons related to tourism or business.
                                </em>
                                The Kenya government has made it mandatory for Foreign nationals to obtain the eta before boarding the flight to Kenya. The foreign nationals are no longer eligible for visa on-arrival.
                            </p>
                            <p>
                                On arriving at the airport, the immigration officials will verify your approved Kenya eTA before letting you pass the security check and providing a visa stamp on your passport.
                            </p>
                            <p>
                                However, foreign nationals must know that to obtain the Kenya eTA they must fulfill the eligibility criterias, only then they are eligible to apply and their application will be accepted.
