Kenya Tourist Visa Requirements:
The Kenya e visa for tourists can be used as a single-entry visa. Can you guess the validity period? 90 days of validity! Wow, isn’t that amazing? But kindly note, if you apply for a Kenya Tourist Visa, you will only have to use it for tourism. Eligible citizens can travel to Kenya for tourism and stay up to 90 days consecutively.
3 Main documents to get a Kenya e Visa:
- A photo scanned color copy of your passport’s/travel document first and last pages. Your travel document/passport must be valid for at least 6 (six) months from the date of travel and have at least three blank pages.

Medical Documents:
Yellow fever is a deadly disease that needs attention. Therefore, travelers arriving in Kenya within six days of departure from any yellow fever endemic nation need to hold (in original) a yellow fever certificate of vaccination. Else they will be subjected to be quarantined for six days upon arrival in Kenya.

Invitation letter for a Kenya e Visa:

Therefore, a copy of a letter from the concerned company/organization, institute, hospital, etc., on its letterhead is mandatory.
