Mexico to Kenya visa requirements

Mexican ordinary passport holders need an approved Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before traveling for tourism. Mexico is not on Kenya's eTA-exemption list, so you must apply online (etakenya.go.ke) at least 3-7 days before departure. The eTA replaces the old visa, costs about USD 34, and allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days. Since January 2024 Kenya abolished traditional tourist visas and replaced them with a mandatory Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for nearly all visitors. In May 2025 (Legal Notice No. 93) Kenya expanded eTA exemptions to most African and several Caribbean/Pacific/ASEAN nations, but Mexico was not included. As a result, a Mexican ordinary passport holder must obtain an approved eTA before boarding a flight to Kenya. The eTA is applied for entirely online through the official portal etakenya.go.ke, costs roughly USD 34 (including service charge), and is normally processed within 3 working days, though Kenya advises applying at least 7 days before travel. The authorization is single-entry and must be used within 90 days of issuance; it permits a tourist stay of up to 90 days, with final admission decided by the immigration officer at the port of entry. Travelers need a passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry with at least two blank pages, a recent passport photo or selfie, proof of accommodation/return travel, and means of support. Because no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel exists for Mexican citizens, the correct verdict for a short tourist visit is "eta."
