VISA Infromation

Getting a visa to Kenya is an easy and straightforward process. As it happens, passport holders from different countries from around the world can have easy access to the East African country. In fact, the freedom of movement and visa-free access to Kenyan destinations is taken as given. Kenyans are always willing to welcome tourists and visitors with open arms.

Acquiring a Kenyan visa depends on your nationality and why you’re visiting. People who do not need visa to visit hold passports from countries that have a visa exemption agreement with Kenya. However, people who need visa to visit Kenya can apply online to get the eVisa or obtain Visa-on-Arrival at the point of entry.

The visa-free access, eVisa and Visa-on-arrival allow visitors to travel to Kenya for tourism or short-term business purpose for up to 90 days. This rule applies to Tourist/Visit visas and you’re not permitted to work in the country.
