Entry Requirements

You will need a visa to go to Kenya unless you are a citizens of Commonwealth countries (except Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and British passport holders from India, Pakistan and Bengla Desh), Denmark, Ethiopia, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and Uruguay.

Visas are available at the airport in Nairobi or at your local embassy. If there is no Kenyan embassy where you live, visas can be obtained at the British Embassy. The costs of visas vary per nationality, and usually increase with the distance from Kenya. If you are only passing through or staying in Kenya just for a few days you can get a transit visa at the border for $10.

Visitors who do not need a visa will be issued a visitor pass upon entry valid for up to 6 months.

Visas are valid for three months. There are no multiple entry visas available. However, as long as yours is still valid, you can visit Uganda and Tanzania and return to Kenya without applying for a new visa. You will need a new visa if you are returning from any other country.
