KENYA VISA - information update (including re-entry from Tanzania / Zanzibar)

Ammendments to Kenya VISA regulations. Persons re-entering Kenya from Tanzania (or Uganda) should enquire about the "Visitors Pass" on arrival at JKIA International Aiport in Nairobi - avoiding the need for a multiple entry visa. "Gorilla Trekkers" will still need a multiple entry VISA to re-enter from Rwanda.

Travel within East Africa

If you are intending to have a multiple destination tour within East Africa, please request for the "Visitors Pass" upon arrival at the Airport. The Visitors Pass allows free RE-ENTRY to Kenya if you are travelling WITHIN East Africa (Uganda/Tanzania/Zanzibar). You will however be required to pay the normal visa charges for the other countries but may re-enter Kenya freely.

The Visitors Pass is stamped on the passport free of charge for full visa holders.

Visas are readily obtained at the Airport upon arrival as well as from the Kenya Embassies and High Commissions abroad prior to departure.

Where applicable, visa fees are as follows: -

Transit Visa = US$20 per person
Single Entry Visa= US$50 for three months (extendable for a similar period)
Multiple Entry Visa= US$100 – valid.
