Kenyan Visa for Belgian citizens

A visa is required for Belgian traveling to Kenya in 2020 and beyond. You can apply for a Kenya visa online at this website and do not need to go to the Kenyan Embassy.

What is a Kenya eVisa?

The Kenya eVisa is an electronic travel authorization issued by the Kenyan authorities. This travel authorization is mandatory. Travelers without a valid visa are prohibited from entering Kenya.

The electronic visa is offered for both vacation and business trips. With the Kenya visa, you can only enter once and stay in the country for a maximum of 90 days.

 

Requirements for the Kenya visa

To apply for a Kenyan visa for Belgian citizens, you have to meet certain requirements. Some of them are particularly important for the application process, especially during your stay in Kenya.

Requirements for the visa application are:

• You can only arrive at one of the 10 specified airports, one of the 10 specified seaports or at one of the 11 specified road border crossings in Kenya (see page “Requirements Visa Kenya” for the list of places where you can enter)
• By the time you apply for your visa, you must already know when you will enter and leave Kenya, and you must have specified at least one overnight stay
• You need to upload one of the documents below:
• ticket of your return flight (flight schedule), or
• booking confirmation of one of your accommodations, or
• a letter of invitation from a Kenyan organization or person in Kenya (not always necessary for a tour purpose)
• Regulations you must comply with during your stay in Kenya:
• You must have both your visa and the booking confirmation of your return or onward flight and your first accommodation printed out along with your passport during your entire trip
• You may not enter into an employment relationship with a Kenyan employer without additional approval

Documents you need to have with you during your trip

To meet the requirements for the Kenya visa, you need to take some documents with you on your trip. You must take this with you in your hand luggage so that it can be shown to immigration or other authorities at any time during your trip. The necessary documents are:

Your passport

You must have the same passport with which you applied for your Kenya visa.

If your passport is not valid or long enough (at least 6 months from your arrival in Kenya) and you need to apply for a new passport, then you must also apply for a new visa.

The return ticket of your flights

You must take the booking confirmation of all your flights (arrival and return flight and possibly domestic flights in Kenya) with you on your trip.

Confirming the booking of your first accommodation

You don’t need a booking confirmation of the entire stay. The airport authorities only need to know which place you are going to stay on your first night. You must print out the booking confirmation for this and take it with you to Kenya.
