Is it true that visitors to Kenya who come in on a tourist visa are only allowed 30 days instead of 60? I’ve checked e-visa and a few other sites which state 60 days but on a Nairobi expat forum many commented that it is now limited to 30 days? :-(

Hello tanzonholiday2016,

You may find this article in the Kenya guide, General visa requirements for Kenya, useful.

I would suggest that you have a look at it.

Hope this will help

It is still 90 days (never been 60) as far as I am aware. However, individual immigration officers can choose to grant a shorter period than this on you entry permit......I have been given 30 days in the past.

That’s right it is 90. It was late when I wrote that post. Wow they can give you 30? I’m planning to apply for the Dependent’s Pass once there as it will be awhile before I return to the USA. Not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!
