What is the difference between single entry and multiple entry visa in Kenya?

The main difference between a single entry visa and a multiple entry visa in Kenya lies in the number of times you can enter and exit the country during the visa's validity period. Here's a breakdown of the two visa types:

1. Single Entry Visa:

A single entry visa allows you to enter Kenya just once during the validity period of the visa.
You cannot leave and re-enter Kenya with the same visa after entering with a single entry visa. If you leave Kenya, your visa will no longer be valid for re-entry.
If you are visiting Kenya for the first time and do not intend to leave or re-enter the country, a single entry visa is usually adequate.

2. Multiple Entry Visa:

A multiple entry visa permits you to enter and depart Kenya several times throughout the validity duration of the visa.
You can leave and re-enter Kenya as many times as you like with a multiple entry visa, as long as your total stay does not exceed the permissible term (typically up to 90 days).
This sort of visa is excellent for those who need to leave Kenya for a brief excursion to a nearby country before returning to Kenya to complete their visit.

The decision between a single-entry and multiple-entry visa is based on your travel intentions and whether you expect to depart and re-enter Kenya during your stay. If you are undecided, a multiple-entry visa may be a better option because it allows you greater flexibility if your trip plans change.

When applying for a Kenya visa, you must declare whether you want a single entry or multiple-entry visa based on your travel needs.
