If you are planning to explore Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda in a single trip, this joint travel authorization removes the hassle of applying for separate permits. The single eTA covers all three countries, allows multiple entries, and stays valid for 90 days from your first entry. You can start your journey in Nairobi, Kampala, or Kigali and move freely across borders for tourism purposes only. I found the East African Tourist eTA section helpful for understanding the application process and eligibility rules. You will need a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, and proof of accommodation. The application is fully online, and once approved, you receive the eTA by email. Just remember that this permit is not valid for work, study, or long term residence. Kenya currently issues the East African Tourist eTA again after a brief pause, so you can now use it to plan a safari, gorilla trekking, and cultural experiences all in one go. Every traveler including minors needs their own eTA. Keep a printed copy with you for border inspections.
