If you're a UK citizen travelling to Eldoret, you don’t need a traditional visa anymore. But you still need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before your trip. Kenya stopped issuing visas on arrival from 1 January 2024, so it’s important to apply online before you fly.

The process is simple:

• You fill out a short online form

• Upload your documents

• Pay the fee.

You’ll need to show your eTA when entering the country, including at Eldoret Airport.

The only people who don’t need to apply for an eTA are citizens of East African Community countries. If you’re travelling with friends or family from the UK, each of you will need one.

The official Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) fee for UK citizens is £24–£25. But if you use a third-party provider to help with the process, the total cost goes up. These providers usually charge a service fee on top of the government fee. In most cases, you’ll end up paying about £65 in total.

To enter Eldoret, you’ll need a few key documents if you're a UK citizen. Before flying, double-check that your passport won’t expire within six months of arrival and that you have at least two blank pages for stamps.

You’ll also need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). This is a must. It’s best to apply at least three days before your trip, though earlier is always safer. You can do this through the official site at etakenya.go.ke.

It’s better to have a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Most UK travellers don’t need it, but it’s good to check just in case.

Finally, be ready to show proof of where you’re staying. That can be a hotel booking or an invitation letter if you're staying with friends or family. It’s often part of the eTA application, so have it ready when you apply.

Eldoret itself is generally calm and welcoming, but it’s important to stay informed. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises travellers to be cautious when visiting any part of Kenya. Risks include petty crime, demonstrations, and unrest in some areas.

In Eldoret, protests can still happen now and then. Most travellers never run into serious problems, but it’s smart to stay alert and avoid large crowds. Also, like with any trip, keep an eye on local news and follow the advice of trusted sources.
