The new eVisa will replace the manual application process on arrival at the airport. The transition to the new scheme has taken longer than expected. This means that you can still choose to apply for a visa on arrival at the Nairobi or Mombasa airport, or online before flying into Kenya. Manual application for a visa on arrival in Kenya: On arrival at the airport in Kenya, you will need to complete an application form and pay a fee of USD 50. The process is relatively smooth and fast. It’s handy to carry your own pen! In the field where you are requested to state your Kenyan address, please enter the name of the hotel/lodge where you are proceeding to spend your first night. Electronic visa application for Kenya: Please use the website www.evisa.go.ke to apply for an electronic eVisa. You may pay by credit card. The visa processing fee is USD 50, and there is a service charge of USD 1. The minimum period you can apply for a Kenyan visa is three months before your travel date.
