    faq (yellow-fever-needed)

    Before
    The official processing standard is up to 3 business days, and Kenya recommends applying at least two weeks before travel. Applications from some nationalities undergo extra vetting and can take longer, so do not leave it to the last minute — airlines check the eTA at check-in.
