COVID-19 PANDEMIC TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

For information on health requirements to travel to Kenya, go to the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority website at kcaa.or.ke

IMPORTANT NOTE

Visa applications without complete requirements will not be processed. Please ensure all the requirements are met.

Please note that the possession of a Kenyan Visa is not the final authority to enter Kenya. The immigration officer at the port of entry may deny permission to land if the visitor is unable to fulfill the immigration requirements and if the entry and presence of such a person in Kenya would be contrary to national interests, even if such a person is in possession of a valid visa for Kenya, provided that any such refusal is consented to by the Director of Immigration Services in Nairobi, his Deputy or Regional Immigration Heads in Mombasa and Kisumu.

A Kenyan visa is valid for 3 months from the date of issuance. A visa holder should enter Kenya within 3 months from the date of issuance. The length of stay in Kenya begins on the date of entry into Kenya, NOT from the date of visa issuance. The authority to stay is the entry stamp issued by the immigration officer at the port of entry.
