Explanation visa Kenya
What is a visa Kenya application and what types of visas are there?
To enter the borders of Kenya you must obtain prior permission from the local authorities.
For most tourist and business trips, it is possible to apply for an electronic e-Visa up to 7 days before departure. This visa is valid for 3 months and offers you a single (single) entry to Kenya.
This can be done entirely digitally via our website and you no longer need to physically supply us with documents in order to prepare the application for you.
However, in addition to the e-Visa for tourist and business travelers, we also offer a multiple entry East African visa.
East African Visa (EAV)
Are you traveling between Rwanda, Kenya and/or Uganda? Then you only need to apply for one visa.
The advantage of this visa is that you will not have to deal with long queues for applying for a Visa on Arrival on arrival and you do not have to go to all three embassies to apply for your visa before departure.
After receiving all necessary documents, we will check the application for completeness before we apply for the East African Visa for you.
The East African Visa offers you the following:
- With this visa you can travel several times through the borders of Rwanda, Kenya and / or Uganda.
- The visa is valid for 3 months and you can stay within the borders of those three countries for a maximum of 90 consecutive days (from the time of arrival).
- You do not have to apply for a new permission in advance for each country. With this visa you will receive the EAV upon arrival in the first country by means of the visa authorization issued by us. This only needs to be done once. You may then switch between the countries mentioned above several times.
Processing time, visa validity and cost of the Kenya visa.
