Veira
KRA eTIMS and ETR

What is the fastest way to become eTIMS compliant from scratch today?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

The fastest route is to use a system that comes eTIMS ready so compliance is set up as part of onboarding, rather than registering, buying a device and wiring up software separately. With Veira the terminal is free with a plan and eTIMS is built in, so you can start issuing compliant invoices quickly. Confirm any KRA registration steps that apply to you.

More detail

The slow path is treating registration, hardware and software as three separate projects. The fast path bundles them, so you are selling compliantly soon after you start.

Make sure your KRA PIN is in order, then get set up on an eTIMS-ready system. From there, every sale issues a compliant invoice without extra effort.
