Can I leave Kenya after overstaying?

Yes, you can leave Kenya if you have overstayed your ETA. However, you may face a fine or deportation.

The length of the overstay determines the penalties for overstaying your Kenya ETA. For example, if you overstay your visa by one day, you will be fined 500 Kenya shilling (about USD5). If you overstay your visa by one month, you will be fined Ksh. 15,000 (about USD 150).

You may be deported if you are unable to pay the fine. Deportation is a severe problem that might jeopardize your future travel plans.

If you overstayed your visa in Kenya, contact the Kenyan Immigration Department to discuss your options. They will be able to advise you on the best way to proceed.
