Kenya Travel Update

New travel insurance requirement for Kenya

Kenya’s travel health insurance requirement is now integrated into the electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) process. Please review the key points below and share them with travellers preparing for Kenya.

Estimated budget
About US$52 per traveller
The stated premium is US$44; payment and system fees may bring the total to around US$52. This amount is not yet an officially published tariff, so use it for planning only.

What travellers need to know

  • New eTA applications: Since 6 October 2026, the Kenyan policy must be purchased before the eTA can be paid for and issued.
  • Already have an eTA? Travellers do not need to reapply. They can purchase the Kenyan policy separately through the official eCitizen website.
  • Applies to: New eTA applications for entry by air, land and water. East African Community (EAC) citizens are exempt.
  • Existing insurance: Cover purchased elsewhere cannot be uploaded in place of this policy. The Kenyan policy should be treated as additional to the traveller’s regular travel insurance.
  • Carry the documents: Travellers should save the signed policy document and insurance reference, and keep copies accessible offline while travelling.

What the policy covers

The stated total limit is US$50,000 per person, including:

Medical expensesUS$20,000
Emergency medical transport and evacuationUS$25,000
Repatriation of remainsUS$5,000

The source update also notes limited emergency-only cover for pre-existing and chronic conditions. Routine dental and optical care, vaccinations, check-ups and cosmetic treatment are not covered. Please review the policy wording for full terms and exclusions.

Please remind every traveller

Maintain appropriate travel insurance from your home country for the full trip, including cancellations, travel arrangements, existing medical conditions and other risks not covered by the Kenyan policy. Apply when the trip is confirmed and within 45 days of travel; the eTA is valid for 90 days from issue, so applying too early may risk expiry before departure.

Official links and assistance

Purchase the policy only through the official Kenyan eCitizen or eTA websites:

Official Kenya eTA website
Official eCitizen portal

Please note: implementation details, fees and some policy interpretations may change. The estimated US$52 total is for budgeting and is not a confirmed official price. Travellers should check the official portal and policy wording before purchase.
