Kenya reopened its airports to international flights on August 1 and accepts all types of travelers with an e-visa issued exclusively on the internet before your departure. As of January 1, 2021, it is no longer possible to obtain this e-visa on arrival or in an embassy.
Entry requirements
In addition to the Evisa, travelers entering Kenya are required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result issued within 96 hours of travel, which has been digitally verified through the Trusted Travel (TT) Initiative. People traveling to Kenya from countries not yet participating in the Trusted Travel Initiative should use a tool made available through the Global Haven partnership for COVID-19 test results and verification of vaccination certificates. Travelers must complete an online travel health monitoring form. Passenger Locator Maps (PLC, provided both on the flight and at the airport terminal) will be used to track passengers entering Kenya.
