Positioning crew members arriving in Kenya by air or cruise must secure this travel authorization before landing. You will need a clear passport scan valid for at least six months, a recent photo, confirmed accommodation, and airline or cruise tickets showing your entry and exit from Kenya. The single entry eTA allows a 90 day stay within a 90 day validity period. Standard processing takes 3 to 5 days, but you can choose rush or super rush for tighter schedules. For complete requirements and application steps, visit the Kenya Positioning Crew eTA page. Only US citizens can apply for the upcoming 5-year multiple entry option. Double check your passport validity and ensure all travel documents are clear before submission to avoid delays. Need an extension? Contact the Directorate of Immigration Services in Nairobi before your stay expires. Carry a printed copy of your eTA when you travel. Regular email updates will keep you informed about your application status. Always verify the latest requirements before you go.
