Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18, carry a notarised letter of parental consent for travel to Kenya.
What should I do before I travel?
Apply for a Kenyan Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before you travel. The ETA can be obtained online or through a Kenyan embassy or consulate; Kenya maintains a mission in Hungary so you may apply without leaving the country. Keep the ETA with your travel documents once it is granted — the permission itself does not expire.
Make sure your ordinary Hungarian passport is valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry to Kenya. A passport is the accepted travel document for this route.
No proof of funds or arrival registration is required for this route. Travel insurance is recommended but not required for entry.
