What it means in practice

90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How Kenya counts your stay: eTA holders stay for the period granted at entry. Exempt nationals: up to 180 days (East African Community), 90 or 60 days depending on the country.

Before you go

Official details are shown in English.

  • Yellow fever certificate (if arriving from an endemic country) (optional) — Get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel; Depends on the clinic.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months with at least one blank page
  • Approved eTA (unless exempt), shown at departure and on arrival
  • Yellow fever certificate if arriving from an endemic country
  • Admission is decided by the immigration officer at the point of entry

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extensions. Our data has no extension route for Kenya; plan to leave on time or arrange a different visa in advance.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Kenya. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.

Good to know

Official details are shown in English.

  • East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100, 90 days, multiple entries between Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda): Kenya's eTA portal lists an East African Tourist eTA as coming soon, so for now apply through Rwanda (irembo.gov.rw) or Uganda (visas.immigration.go.ug) and make the issuing country your first point of entry.
  • A transit eTA (USD 20) is needed only if you leave the airport; passengers who stay airside are exempt.
  • Diplomats also complete an eTA but do not pay the standard fee.
