Do Polish citizens need a visa for Kenya?
Polish passport holders need an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) before travelling to Kenya for up to 90 days. It is a short online application, not a full visa.
What this means for your trip
- Apply only on the official government site; third-party sites charge extra.
- Apply a few days before travel; most approvals are quick but some take longer.
- The authorisation is linked to your passport. A new passport needs a new application.
