2025:Visas and Vaccines/ms
Keperluan Visa
Kenya is a visa-free country for tourists, but you’ll still need to fill out a quick electronic travel form (ETA) online through this link a week or so before your trip. The application can be submitted up to 90 days before your trip. Don't forget to bring the electronic travel form printout with you.
It is recommended to have a valid passport for at least six months from the date you exit Kenya and at least two blank passport pages.
Vaccinations and Health
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for travelers from endemic regions. You need to show a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate if you are traveling from an endemic region.
The certificate needs to be obtained at least 10 to 15 days before departure. Depending on your country of origin, you may be required to show proof of yellow fever vaccination when returning from Kenya. Please consult your local authorities for specific requirements.
Additionally, you can confirm that your routine vaccinations are up to date, including Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Tetanus, and if you’re planning wildlife activities, consider Rabies as well.
