Traveling from Saudi Arabia to Kenya

Saudi citizens and residents planning a trip to Kenya should check the entry requirements applicable to their nationality before departure.

Kenya replaced its former eVisa system with the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system in January 2024. Therefore, older information referring to single-entry, multiple-entry, referred, or transit eVisas may no longer reflect the standard process for short-term visitors.

Travelers who are subject to the requirement generally need to obtain an approved Kenya eTA online before departure. Requirements can vary according to nationality and travel circumstances, so applicants should check the latest immigration rules before making their journey.
