Kenya Visa Requirements

Select your passport above to see entry requirements for Kenya.

🇰🇬 For a Kyrgyzstan passport

With a Kyrgyzstan passport, Kenya requires an electronic visa or travel authorisation before you fly — you can't just show up and get one at the border. The good news is this is usually a quick online process rather than an embassy visit.

You're allowed to stay for 90 days. We don't have a confirmed processing time on file for this one. If you're in a hurry, it's worth checking the official portal directly, since e-visa turnaround can vary by season and by how busy the consulate is.

The fee isn't confirmed on our end yet — it isn't clearly stated on the official government page we checked, or it may vary depending on how you apply. Please treat any fee you see quoted elsewhere (especially from third-party visa resellers) with caution, and confirm the real government fee via the official source link below before paying anyone.

One more thing worth knowing: Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) Applications can be submitted up to 90 days prior to travel and must be submitted at least 3 days in advance. eTA fee is USD 32.50. eTA is good for single entry, but visitors who leave Kenya to other EAC countries may re-enter provided that their eTA is still valid Proof of reservation at the hotel where visitors plan to stay is required (if staying with frien.

This falls under our guides.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I apply for my Kenya e-visa?

Apply as early as you can once your travel dates are set. Processing times can vary, especially around holidays or peak travel seasons, so leaving it until the last few days before your flight is risky — an e-visa that's still pending when you're due to board can mean being denied boarding.

What happens if my Kenya e-visa application is rejected?

Rejections do happen, and the reason isn't always given in detail. If yours is rejected, check that every field matched your passport exactly, that your passport has enough remaining validity, and that any required photo or document met the stated format — then reapply or, if time is short, contact Kenya's official visa portal or nearest consulate directly rather than guessing.

Is the information on this page guaranteed to be accurate?

We check what we publish against official sources where we can, and clearly flag anything still pending verification. Even so, visa rules change — sometimes with very little notice — so please treat this page as a strong starting point, not a final word, and confirm directly with the official source linked above before you book or fly.

Before you travel — checklist

Check your passport has enough remaining validity for your trip to Kenya — many countries require at least 6 months beyond your travel dates, even for visa-free entry.
Start your e-visa/authorisation process well before your travel date — don't leave this until the last few days.

Check whether Kenya requires proof of onward or return travel — some border officers ask for this even when it isn't formally listed as a requirement.
Consider travel insurance that covers your trip to Kenya, particularly if any medical or emergency evacuation coverage is required or advisable for the region.
