Kenya Visa - Travel Requirements & Guidance
Entry requirements for Kenya cover travel for tourism, business, transit, and other permitted purposes. The relevant pathway and supporting information can vary depending on the traveller’s nationality, purpose of travel, intended length of stay, and individual circumstances.
Kenya’s travel authorisation framework is administered by the Directorate of Immigration Services. Depending on the traveller’s circumstances, an Electronic Travel Authorisation or another appropriate entry pathway may apply. Certain travellers and passport holders may also qualify for exemptions.

Before You Travel
Ensure your passport meets the validity requirements for your journey to Kenya and that all details on any approved travel authorisation match your passport exactly. Entry requirements, permitted stay, fees, supporting documents, and processing times can vary based on your nationality, travel purpose, itinerary, and personal circumstances. Review current official guidance before departure, keep your approvals and supporting documents accessible, and allow time to respond to any additional information requested by the relevant authorities.
