British Citizen passports are the relevant document here; make sure yours is the full 10-year adult passport and has the validity buffer the destination requires beyond your stay. Fees are typically billed in US dollars, so British applicants may see a small card conversion from GBP at checkout. The most common avoidable mistake for UK citizens: booking flights first and assuming entry rules match the EU — UK passport holders should confirm the eVisa requirement separately for each destination.
Visa rules can change. Confirm details with official Kenya immigration authorities close to your travel date.
