Documents Required for Kenyan Passport Holders

Kenyan citizens can obtain visas on arrival in many countries and also have access to visa-free countries but they must have some general documents before starting their journey to these countries. These documents must be carried out for hassle-free entry.

  1. Passport valid for 6 months
  2. Return or onward ticket
  3. Hotel booking for the entire stay
  4. Cash $50 USD per day
  5. Visa Fee (if applicable)

These are general documents mostly required by countries that offer visa-free entry for Kenyan citizens and those countries which offer visa on arrival service for Kenyan passport holders. Some countries may ask for different documents, therefore, I suggest visiting the official website of that country before starting your journey so you can have updated information about the latest requiements for that particular country.
