Can I get a Kenyan visa at the airport?

No, a Kenyan visa cannot be obtained at the airport. For Kenyan visas, visa on arrival is no longer available. All travelers to Kenya must apply in advance for a visa, either online or at a Kenyan embassy or consulate.

Due to security concerns, the Kenyan government ended the visa-on-arrival program in 2020. Some passengers were also accused of abusing the scheme by overstaying their visas.

Beginning in January 2024, President William Ruto has launched a big reform for travelers: the customary visa process will be streamlined. All nationalities will now benefit from a more efficient electronic travel authorization (eTA) system, making your Kenyan experience easier.

You can submit your application online through the Kenya Immigration Services website. The application procedure is quick and uncomplicated.
