What you need

  • Passport valid for the full duration of your stay
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host details)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay

Visa types

  • Not applicable — Kenyan passport holders enter visa-free under a reciprocal arrangement
  • Single stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period
  • No work or study permitted on visa-free entry; separate permits required for those purposes

Entry conditions

  • An immigration officer at Banjul International Airport stamps the passport on arrival
  • Travelers must be ready to show a return ticket and proof of funds/accommodation
  • Yellow fever certificate is checked at entry
  • Extension beyond 90 days requires a visit to the Gambia Immigration Department in Banjul before the visa-free period lapses

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee since entry is visa-free
  • Standard airport security/departure taxes (around USD 20) may apply, usually bundled into the airfare
  • No advance processing time, as no visa application is required

Tips for Kenya travelers
