Kenya Visa At The Airport
|
The easiest way to get a travel visa to Kenya is to obtain one upon your arrival at the entry points (airports) in Kenya. American citizens are issued the visa with ease provided your passport is valid for 3 more months post your arrival date in Kenya and has a blank page for the visa stamping. Although it might cause a little delay in the airport, the issuance process is hassle free and relatively quick. |
You can opt from three options in Visas for Kenya - single entry visa for $25/ head, multiple entry visa for $50/ head and transit visa for $10/ head. These visas are issued at both Nairobi as well as Mombassa airports. It is recommended that you carry enough American dollars for payment of the fees at the airport. Your Kenya visas would be valid for travels to Tanzania or Uganda through Kenya and a return trip. You can check with the Kenyan Embassy in Washington D.C. or American Consulate in Nairobi for the exact requirements beforehand to ensure you have all the required documents. If you want to plan your travel ahead of arrival, you can apply for visas from the Kenyan embassy instead of obtaining it from the airport. This will help you to have a smooth checkout at the airport post landing in Kenya. The various documents required for the issuance of visa at the airport are US passport valid for at least 3-6 months post arrival to the country, tickets and return travel documents, and International Certification for Yellow Fever may be required. These requirements are similar for travel, business or diplomatic visas. Also every individual above the age of 16 needs to apply for an individual visa at the airport or embassy. There are no visas required for travelers below the age of 16.
