Passport and transit notes
- Passport validity
- The current MFA page requires a valid travel document and phrases a six-month rule from visa issuance, but it does not publish one universal arrival- or departure-based month rule. No calculated month value is asserted here.
- Validity source (opens in a new tab) Validity guide
- Transit
- landside transit: required; The MFA page publishes regular transit visas for up to three days. Any landside connection requires the appropriate transit or entry visa; the public page does not state a universal sterile-airside waiver.

- Invitation, visa support or application documents if required by the visa type
- Proof of accommodation, funds and onward or return travel if requested
Why this verdict
Kenyan citizens are not included in the current MFA visa-free or eVisa appendices, so this ordinary-passport route remains visa-required. Diplomatic/service documents and regulated work, study or residence routes can follow separate rules.
