Need rules for your passport?
Use the eligibility matrix above to check nationality-specific requirements and travel rules for your passport.
How the Matrix Works
The matrix maps Kenya's 3 eVisa options (Tourist ETA (Single Entry for 90 days), Business ETA (Single Entry for 90 days), Transit ETA (Single Entry for 72 hours)) against nationality, so you can see at a glance which route fits your passport, the typical 90 days or 3 days, and whether Single Entry applies — before you start an application for Kenya.
Visa Exemptions
Some nationalities are exempt from a Kenya eVisa for short visits, while others must use a traditional embassy route. If your passport shows as "regulated entry" for Africa, our team can review your specific case before you pay.
