visa

Most visitors to Kenya require visas with exception of some African members of the Commonwealth (Please check before hand if you require a visa). Multiple and single entry visas are available at any of the Kenya’s diplomatic missions or consular representatives. In countries where there is no Kenyan Embassy or High Commission, the British Embassy will generally represent Kenya, and be in a position to issue visas. The visa fee varies from country to country depending on bilateral arrangement, but is in the mean of US$ 50. With exception of a few countries, Kenyan visas are readily obtainable on arrival at the airport. Click here to download the visa form.

Please see list of countries and visa requirement below.  

Kenya entry visas for nationals whose countries are marked "Referred" require special advance clearance by the Kenyan authorities. This means that the application must be referred to Nairobi and may take some time. Nationals of countries marked "On application" can obtain visas from Kenya Embassies/High Commission. Commonwealth Countries do not require visas. Those that do are indicated on the list.
