What is the Kenya East Africa Tourist Visa?

The Kenya East Africa Tourist Visa is a multiple-entry official travel document that allows you to travel between Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda to do tourist and business activities, visit family, or receive medical treatment.

These countries created a partnership to boost regional travel and enable tourists to explore East Africa's diverse culture, nature, and wildlife.

Take into account that with this visa, the first country you will enter in East Africa has to be Kenya. With iVisa the visa application process is done 100% online, so you don’t need to visit an embassy or consulate. Remember that you need to apply for this visa outside Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.

Who is eligible to apply for the East Africa Tourist Visa?

Any foreign citizen who wants to visit all three countries for tourism on one trip is eligible to apply for this visa. If you're unsure about which visa you need, please consult our handy Visa checker, which you can find at the top of this page.

What is the validity period of the East Africa Tourist Visa?

The East African Tourist Visa is valid for 90 days, and you can stay for up to 3 months per entry in the region. Take into account that the approved visa must be used within 3 months of the issuance date.

Important: Although this is a multiple-entry visa, it automatically expires if you leave the region. For example, if you have entered Kenya and leave after 14 days to go to Europe, this visa is not valid anymore to visit Rwanda and/or Uganda. You can only enter the second or third country from another East African nation under this agreement.
