On the Move Health Visitors coming from the Far East, Central America, South, Central and West Africa may be required to have valid certificates of inoculation against yellow fever and cholera. Visas All visitors to Kenya are required to have valid passports. Visas are also required for visitors who are not citizens of the commonwealth countries in order to enter Kenya. At present visitors from Germany, Denmark, Norway, San Marino, Sweden, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Finland, Spain, Turkey and Uruguay do not require visas. However, since visa requirement may change, it is advisable for the visitors to check the current visa requirements through airlines, to operators or Kenya Tourist Offices, Kenya Embassies or High Commissions in their countries before coming t avoid embarrassment.
Visas normally take up to six weeks to process and are valid for up to a three month period.
Dress Visitors should not walk un towns or public areas in their swim-wear as this is against African culture and offends a large section of the community. Nude bathing is not allowed. Kenyans appreciate decent behavior devoid of immoral tendencies. Visitors are therefore advised to show respect to the local people, their culture and traditions. Customs You may import personal effects like binoculars, cameras and films temporarily in to the country without a permit.
