Frequently asked questions

How many countries can Kenyan passport holders visit visa-free?

This page lists each destination with its exact rule. Counts vary by how visa-free, visa-on-arrival and eVisa are tallied, so we show the per-country status rather than a single headline number.

Does the Kenyan passport need ETIAS?

Once ETIAS launches in the official EU launch window, Kenyan biometric-passport holders travelling visa-free to the Schengen area will generally need it. See the ETIAS guide.

Do you show official fees or agent prices on this Kenyan passport page?

We track the official government fee where the authority publishes one. We do not present agent markup as the baseline price.
