🇰🇪 Kenya visa requirements for Finnish citizens
Finnish citizens need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Kenya — a quick online approval, not a full visa.
Entry rules for Finland passport holders
Kenya requires Finnish visitors to register online for an electronic travel authorization before departure. An eTA is lighter than a visa — approval is usually issued within minutes to hours — but airlines will deny boarding without it, so complete it before heading to the airport.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Kenya immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
