What Does “Visa-Free” Mean?
“Visa-free” means Kenyan citizens can enter a country without applying for a visa beforehand. In some cases, you get a visa on arrival or an eVisa, which is quicker and easier than standard visa applications.
There are 3 types of easy travel access:
- Visa-Free – No visa needed at all
- Visa on Arrival – Get a visa at the airport/border
- eVisa – Apply online before you travel
