It is important to print out the ETA before traveling and present it at the immigration desk with other relevant documentation.

Please note that the ETA does not guarantee entry: the final decision is up to the Kenyan border control officers.

FAQ for Bangladeshi Visitors to Kenya

Do Bangladeshi passport holders need a visa for Kenya? Toggle faqs

No, Kenya no longer issues visas for Bangladeshis or any other foreign traveler.

Kenyan authorities have phased out visas in recent years. First, they replaced embassy visas with an electronic visa system called the Kenya eVisa. Bangladeshi citizens could apply for the Kenya eVisa online.

The eVisa platform has now also been replaced by the ETA system — widely considered an upgrade. The ETA allows Bangladeshi passport holders to authorize their visit to Kenya quicker and easier than ever before.

Although the ETA is not technically a visa, it performs the same function: permitting travel. The ETA is an entry requirement that all Bangladeshi visitors must have to enter Kenya.

How long can Bangladeshis use the Kenya ETA? Toggle faqs

Travelers from Bangladesh can use the Kenya ETA to enter the country at any point within 90 days after the date it is issued.

You may only use it to enter the country a single time within this validity period.

If you wish to make multiple trips from Bangladesh to Kenya, you must get a new ETA for each entry.
