Do I need a transit visa for Kenya Airways?

Whether or not you need a transit visa for Kenya Airways depends on your nationality and the length of your layover in Kenya. You will require a transit visa if you want to depart the airport but stay for less than 72 hours. A Kenya transit visa is not required if you do not intend to leave the airport. However, keep in mind that a transit visa is not the same as a visa on arrival. A transit visa for Kenya cannot be obtained at Nairobi Airport. Instead, you may apply for one online, and Kenya Immigration Services can assist you.

Although you cannot obtain a transit visa for Kenya at the Nairobi Airport, the online application method is far more convenient. However, before you fill out an online form, make certain that you have everything you need. 

  • Copy of your Danish passport: Submit a scanned copy of your passport, confirming that it is valid for at least six months from the day you want to arrive in Kenya. Furthermore, your passport should have at least one blank page.
  • Personal information: Fill out the application form completely, including your full name, date of birth, and passport information. Examine your data thoroughly to verify correctness and avoid errors.
  • Payment method: Use a debit, credit card, or PayPal to pay the e-visa service charge and the government entrance visa fee. Check that the card you're using is legitimate and accepted for online purchases.
  • Contact information: Please provide a valid email address where you will get updates on the status of your application. You must have an active email account to be updated during the process.
