The government of the Republic of Kenya has fully automated the issuance of visas to travellers with effect from 1 January 2021.

Going forward, all travellers from countries that require visas to enter Kenya shall be required to apply for and obtain an e-visa before boarding an aircraft. The estimated processing time for an e-visa application is two business days. With the introduction of the e-visa, no visas will be issued to travellers on arrival in Kenya. 

Travellers can apply for their e-visas by accessing www.evisa.go.ke. 

For any further information on the requirements for an e-visa or any other queries on immigration law and procedure, please contact us on Immigration.Kenya@dentons.com.
