goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — specializes in Kenya Tourist/Visit travel authorizations (eTA). We handle eTA filing and online payment via the official portal on your behalf.
We guide business/medical/short private visits and provide advisory for student/family long-stay routes. These may require additional documentation or mission contact.
Kenya work permits or work visas. Work permits are employer-led with category-specific requirements managed by Kenyan Immigration. Any agency promising "guaranteed Kenya work visa" is likely running a scam.

Kenya now uses an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for most short stays. Bangladeshi passport holders must apply for eTA online before travel — the traditional visa system was replaced in January 2024.
The portal shows the fee in USD at checkout. Bank/FX/portal charges may apply on top of the government fee. Ask goFLY for today's total cost including all charges.
Most approvals arrive within 24-72 hours after complete filing. Allow 7-10 days buffer, especially during peak seasons (December-January, July-August safari season).
If you're arriving from or transiting through a yellow fever risk country, you may be asked to show a valid vaccination certificate. Check your full routing and airline guidance before travel.
If you remain airside on a single itinerary, generally no eTA is needed. If you must enter Kenya (overnight stay or terminal change), you must apply for eTA. Always confirm with your airline.
For eTA, no embassy visit is required — it's entirely online. For long-stay, work, or student cases, the Kenyan mission responsible for Bangladesh is often the High Commission in New Delhi.
Yes! We prepare your documents to specifications, file on the official portal, pay the fee on your behalf, and deliver your eTA approval PDF. Call 01713-289170 to get started.
