Kenya visa & entry
Most visitors need an online travel authorisation before flying. Rules change—always confirm the official immigration site before you pay.
What you typically need
Kenya has moved between eVisa and eTA-style systems over time; the exact product name and portal may be updated by the government. Start at the official Republic of Kenya eCitizen / immigration channel your airline links to, complete payment, and print or save the approval for check-in.
- Passport: Usually at least six months’ validity beyond departure and blank pages for stamps.
- Yellow fever: Required if arriving from endemic countries; not always needed from Europe/North America direct—verify for your full itinerary including transits.
- Onward ticket: Some carriers ask for proof of exit from Kenya.
- Children: Minor documentation rules vary—confirm with the official portal and your airline.
