Visa Requirements To Kenya & Eligibility Check
All nationals, except 43 exempt nations, require a visa to enter Kenya for travel, tourism, business and transit purposes. Getting an evisa is fairly easy and straightforward process as long as you meet the requirements and have the requisite documents.
Please refer to the provided link below for the Kenya Electronic Visa Application System Platform to see the list of exempt countries. For the non-exempt travelers, please note that you need to apply for your evisa prior to travel as visas on arrival are not available.
Single-entry visa (for business and tourism) costs around USD50. One is better off acquiring an East Africa visa with a validity of 90-days if they intend to visit the neighboring countries and reenter Kenya as it allows multiple entry into Kenya so long as you’ve not left East Africa.
List of E-visa requirements:
- a valid identity document (e.g. passport) that is valid for at least six months and has at least two blank pages
- to enter at one of Kenya's 10 recognised border crossings, seaports or airports
- provide confirmation of your return ticket
- provide a travel itinerary
- provide confirmation of an accommodation reservation for at least one night after your arrival date
- a passport-sized photograph
- an active email address
