Traveling to Kenya

Visa Information

Visas are now required by almost all visitors to Kenya, including Europeans, Australians, New Zealanders, Americans and Canadians, although citizens from a few smaller Commonwealth countries are exempt. Visas (US$50/€40/UK£30) are valid for three months from the date of entry and can be obtained on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. Tourist visas can be extended for a further three-month period.

Passport

You must have a valid passport to gain entry into Kenya. Generally, it takes only a few weeks from the time you apply to when you receive your passport back.

To apply for a passport:

1. Passport Renewal - If you already have a passport, but it has expired, keep the expired passport and apply
2. NEW Passport - If you have never had a passport, you will fill out this form.
3. Get your passport photos taken at Walmart or Walgreens.
4. Turn in your completed application form, photos and money.

Vaccinations

• Anti-Malaria pills get these from your doctor prior to leaving as you will need to start taking them 30 days prior to your trip, while you are there and upon your return to the USA.
