How to apply online

  • Upload your passport bio page, photo, yellow fever certificate, flight and accommodation proof
  • Pay the consular fee online or at a designated bank as instructed by the portal
  • Receive your e-visa approval by email, then present a printed copy along with your passport on arrival
  • Immigration at the port of entry will verify and stamp your passport

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist e-visa fee: approximately USD 160 for Kenyan citizens (fees are set by reciprocity/nationality group)
  • No separate service fee when applying directly through the official portal
  • Standard processing time: approximately 3 working days after full document submission
  • Express processing is generally not offered; apply early to avoid travel delays

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply at least 2-3 weeks before travel to allow for any requests for additional documentation
  • Common rejection reasons: missing yellow fever certificate, unclear accommodation proof, incomplete online form
  • Print multiple copies of your e-visa approval, as it must be shown at check-in and again on arrival
  • If traveling to the Bolivian Amazon or lowland regions, carry your yellow fever certificate at all times as it may be checked at internal checkpoints
