Kenya visa requirements for Timor-Leste citizens
Updated 2026-07-07 · verified against the Passport Index dataset
Entry details
Holders of a Timor-Leste passport need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), not a visa when visiting Kenya. The Timor-Leste passport currently ranks #99 of 199 worldwide, with 88 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Kenya is notably open to foreign passports, admitting 198 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #127 with 70 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — Kenya citizens enter Timor-Leste more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, Kenya citizens travelling to Timor-Leste face: visa on arrival.
