All visitors are required to obtain an electronic travel authorization before entering Kenya.
Required for Entry:
Passport with at least two blank pages, six months’ validity, and a Kenyan electronic travel authorization.
You should have proof of yellow fever immunizations if arriving from an endemic country, or you may be denied entry.

Working/Volunteering in Kenya: In December 2018, the Kenyan government announced a new work permit program that requires foreigners to apply for permits and visas from their country of origin. You should submit work permit applications at least 6-8 weeks prior to travel. Once in Kenya, submit a renewal application at least 90 days before your work permit expires.
