What visas do I need for Kenya please? |
Travel Info I am travelling to Kenya and in transit through Doha - what visas will I need please? Will the "in transit" just be one of those things that you fill in on the plane? Any other helpful information would be appreciated. Travel Tips Documentary requirements vary based on the nationality of the visitor. I am very familiar with the requirements for US Citizens. A Visa is required prior to departure. Here is what the Embassy reports as requirements for UK Citizens: Kenya, Passport/Visa Passport/Visa: Country Passport Required Visa Required Return Ticket Required British Yes Yes Yes Australian Yes Yes Yes Canadian Yes Yes Yes USA Yes Yes Yes Other EU Yes Yes Yes Japanese Yes Yes Yes Passports: Passport valid for three months from date of entry required by all. Visas: Required by all except nationals of the following: (a) nationals of Commonwealth countries for stays of up to three months except those nationals listed in the chart above, and nationals of Antigua & Barbuda, Bangladesh, Belize, Cameroon, Guyana, India, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, St Kitts & Nevis and Trinidad & Tobago who do require a visa; (b) nationals of Ethiopia, San Marino, Turkey and Uruguay; (c) nationals of Malaysia if staying less than 30 days; (d) all holders of a re-entry pass to Kenya; (e) transit passengers continuing their journey by the same or first connecting aircraft provided holding valid onward or return documentation and not leaving the airport.
