The application form has a series of questions, mainly on personal details (name, date of birth), contact information (residence, email address), passport details (important information on the biographical page), travel plans (places you would be visiting in Kenya). All Norwegians should ensure that the provided data must be accurate and the same as in your official documents like passport. Any ambiguous, misleading, or incorrect data can cause delays in the eTA processing or result in eTA refusal.

How Long should I Wait for Kenya eTA Approval?

In 2-3 business days, you should receive the soft copy of eTA in your mailbox. In rare cases, it may take 4-6 business days. However, if you apply for eTA in good time before the intended date you will enter Kenya, it would balance the unwanted delays and not ruin your plannings.
