Does Kenya Airways require a transit visa?

If you have a layover in Kenya that lasts no longer than 72 hours, you can apply for a Kenya transit visa, which allows you to enter Kenya for a 3-day stay after leaving the airport; however, if you are connecting flights do not require a transit visa, you do not need to apply.

With a Kenya Transit visa, you can visit popular tourist destinations near airports so you can make your flight on time while still taking in Kenya's local cultures and natural beauty before moving on to your final destination.

The application process is simple and can be done in your own home requiring only a smart device with a strong network connection:

Step 1: Complete the online application form. This step requires you to enter personal information (full name, gender, date of birth, and passport number) as well as visa details (number of visas, type of visa, and processing time). The accuracy of your information could impact the speed at which your application is processed.
Step 2: After paying the Kenya eVisa fee, our service could ask for more paperwork to complete the application process.
Step 3: Receive a confirmation email from us. You must review all the information again before we proceed further.
Step 4: Please download and print your visa before coming to Kenya. A stamped confirmation will be placed on your passport.
