FAQ's
You can attach documents in either PDF, JPG or Microsoft Word format.
You will not be able to scan/take a photo of the picture in your passport. This is strictly prohibited, please do not do this. The applicant's photograph should be taken within the last 6 months, and be in colour. Make sure it shows your full front-facing face, with a cream or white-coloured background.
If you usually wear glasses or a hearing device or wig, they should be worn for your picture. Dark, tinted and non-prescription glasses are not acceptable - unless you need them for medical reasons. A medical certificate may be required for the same. Please take the picture in normal everyday clothes, and NOT in uniform.
Yes, you will. These are two documents, usually. One would be an invitation letter from the host (the person whom you are going to visit). The other document would be a proof of identification of the host. This could be in the form of an ID card/passport/entry permit/alien card (of the family member in Kenya).
Most credit and debit cards are acceptable. Visa and Mastercards are also taken.
Yes, you can. The stay period of the first visa is 90 days. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you will have to contact the Immigration Headquarters in Nairobi to renew your visa. The maximum number of days you can stay in Kenya for (at a time) is 6 months.
The maximum stay period available is 90 days. When you present yourself in front of the immigration officers at the port of entry (for indians, this is usually the airport), you will be given a stay period. This depends on the purpose and duration of your activities in Kenya. Because of this, it differs from person to person.
No, currently the Kenyan E-visa portal does not issue refunds for rejected applications. If you choose to cancel your visa application (before you get the results), you will still not be able to obtain a refund once the fees have been paid.
No, you cannot. The Kenyan E-visa is a single-entry visa. This means that you will need to apply for a new visa if you wish to re-enter Kenya. This is irrespective of the time difference between when you enter and when you exit.
This depends on the kind of documents you submit, as well as what you choose on the online form. The Single Entry visa is for both purposes but differs based on what the applicant is going to Kenya for.
No. Since both of them are single entry visas, they come under the same umbrella. They also have the same fees. However, if you wish to opt for a business visa (depending on the purpose of your visit), you will need to submit slightly different documents.
Yes, you do. You will need an e-visa to visit Kenya in any way: for tourism, business, as well as transit.
No, you will not. If you stay inside the transit area of the Kenyan airport, you will not be needing a Transit Visa.
