1. Visa & Entry Requirements
Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
All foreign nationals crossing the Kenyan border for the Global Pro-bono Summit Africa 2026 must hold a valid eTA or Visa (dependent on origin). The Kenyan government has streamlined this process entirely online.
- Processing Time: Typically 3-5 business days.
- Summit Invitation Letters: Generated automatically within 48 hours upon successful registration approval.
- Yellow Fever Certificate: Required if arriving from endemic zones.
Need Embassy Assistance?
If your local Kenyan embassy requires a physical letter of guarantee stamped by a recognized NGO, the Jitolee Good Friends Foundation legal team will express post this prior to October 1st.
