A couple more questions: 1) Did you just come in on a tourist visa to do what you do? 2) When applying for the visa did you just provide the initial stay hotel or did you provide a full specific itinerary for the whole time you were planning on being there? If so places, dates, etc?
1) I came in on a single-entry tourist visa 2) I only provided the initial stay hotel, I did not map out all my itinerary specifics. This is what most people do and was advised by the tour operator(s) I booked with. Hope that helps clarify!
If it helps anyone, I had someone from Kenya send me a welcome letter via Whatsapp, I will be staying with them. Didn't have to pay for a hotel in advance to receive the e-VISA and was approved.
My trip to Kenya is on this coming Monday, I did the health Surveillance today but couldn’t the global haven. I am trying to figure out thank you for the information, and have a good vacation.
Super helpful video, thank you! Did you have to put your passport details along with the Covid vaccination on the global haven site? I get a QR code with "provisonal certificate" so want to make sure its valid!
Even after putting in my passport details I still ended up with a “provisional” certificate. I was never asked to show this document, but most other travelers I spoke to only had the “provisional” with them for the journey and it worked just fine. Sounds like you have everything ready to go 👍🏻
@@Jeff_Hyer can you tell me the security situation there? I'm about travelling with someone and after she made some security check, it showed Kenya as a dangerous place.. Can you honestly tell me about your experience?
@@philipunekwu5652 No it's not dangerous and also depends on where you are going. The National Elections cycle is over so the fear of violence is over too.
You're very welcome! Glad I could help. On this last trip to Kenya I stayed for over 3 weeks. I'll be sharing more videos/vlogs from the experience very soon - some already posted. Thanks for following along! - Jeff
@@Jeff_Hyer Sooooo, one thing I haven't really heard anyone talking about and something that is really giving me a major pain is the fact that the eVisa website is SUPER picky about what debit/credit cards they will accept. It needs to be 3D Security enabled - but really has more to do with "which" version of the protocol. Did you get this error message when you tried to pay for your eVisa?
Thanks man, one question.. my application for the e visa is on "issued" status and it gave me a doc with the bar code , E--pass number and every filled out details with uploaded pic . It's been 4days, will they be replying with another approval doc? Fyi, um from east africa.. if there procesure differs
Thank You very much Jeff, this video has covered almost all the points i was looking for. Makes it much easier for me now. Just one query now, I will be travelling from India which is not endemic for Yellow Fever, so do I need a yellow fever vaccination before entering Kenya ??
You’re most welcome! I’m glad this video was helpful to you. As far as I know you will not need a yellow fever vaccine document. I always advise to double check the latest requirements just to be extra certain but I’m quite sure you won’t need it. Safe travels 👋🏼
Visa Question: if you have a departure ticket for a date specific (say 50 days after entry) and you get a 90 day single entry visa, then when you enter Kenya how long is the visa granted for upon entry? Is it to A) the date specific--IF IT IS LESS THAN 90 days or B) is it the full 90 days not matter what your departure ticket says. In other words can one change ones departure in Kenya from the original earlier departure ticket date to a later departure date up to the full 90 days?
@@Jeff_Hyer Thanks. This clarification is no where to be found. Another traveler channel got harrassed upon exiting to TZ "for overstaying his visa" in KE at the 31 day mark in a 90 day standard single entry visa. I thought maybe there was something like A) above that was happening. I guess it was the border guard flexing their ability to get a "tip." In some countries a) actually does happen where the visa applied for is "up to" the date and the border entry official could determine how long the entrant can stay (less than the full visa) based upon information given upon entry.
Hey I’ve tried 7 credit cards and it keeps saying failed to process my visa. I’m coming from USA 🇺🇸 and this is so frustrating! I see many are complaining of the same issue of credit and debit cards not processing. What should we do?
The online visa system is broken, so each time my husband and i come in and out one of us (who remained in the country) has to physically visit the bank (here in Kenya) to pay w/ cash. Its terrible and i don't know why they don't fix it. Sorry, i know this doesnt help at all. If you know someone in the country you could have them do it for you. 💁♀
Thank you so much for the great informative video! I am going to be traveling in just over a month and was getting confused over the locator form. On the UK gov website they say you need to log in every day for 14 days to register any symptoms. Have you heard of anyone having to do this? Will be difficult on safari if so! Thanks again.
Glad you found this video helpful! I believe the hassle you’re describing is no longer a necessary step. I heard of something like this back in 2021 but it has since been dropped. I wouldn’t worry about it :)
Hello Jeff! I really need your help? I have a question in uploading my passport photo and info? Do I scan it or do I take a picture of it? I think it says not to do either but how else can I upload?
If you have a connecting flight, what flight number do you put on the traveler surveillance form? The flight from your original destination or the flight from your connecting destination? (in your case, the connecting destination would be Doha)
Hi Jeff I just got my evisa but I just watch your vlogs for no. 4 requirements so should I apply again a new for this traveller surveillance form? Thank you so much for your response soon.
Double check with the airlines, because I was denied to onboard for not having a vaccine even with a negative PCR results. In the Kenyan Embassy website it does say over 18 must have a vaccine proof, and thats what the airlines went with.
Hi, I have some issue uploading my documents in Globalhaven, it says invalid submit and I have no documents in it. so I would like to know how long it took for your prouval
@@Jeff_Hyer I wrote to them and they responded. The issue was that my computer is in French, which was making invalid submission. So I did it on my phone today and it was instantly also. Thanks for your very useful video on the requirements needed
For some reason I'm getting caught up at the payment process I payment won't go through and they give me a reference number and there's nothing wrong with my credit card any thoughts
I only have two shots, and it has been a year since my second one. am I still considered vaccinated, I was not able to find any info on that? Please help, Thanks!
How many days before you travel do you have to fill out the minister of health international travelers health surveillance form I keep getting (error details cannot be saved try again later ) is it something I am doing wrong
Hi Jeff! Planning a trip to Kenya in late October 2022. Quick question, is the yellow fever vaccine required or recommended for entry into East African countries?
On the surveillance form one of the questions asked is do I have a negative pcr certificate. If I answer no will I be denied? I thought the pcr test wasn’t necessary if you have you vaccine card.
Happy to see your vidio,am travelling to kenya in 2 weeks and i applied for visa online to get scammed and lost 450$.am so scared to apply again plz help me with link thanks.

I haven't travelled in Africa for 20 years, but will be doing so again in a couple of weeks, going to Kenya. I was thinking that it would be wise to get traveller's checks in case of theft, but the reviews I'm seeing online state not to do so as they are not as widely accepted anymore. I will only be in Kenya about a week, but would love to be able to use the local currency, so am not interested in MPesa. Should I just bring American dollars and exchange those at the airport when I arrive? Or what is the best way to do that, in your opinion?
I always carry US cash or euros with me just in case needed, which can then be exchanged for Kenyan shillings. Though for most my trips to Kenya I withdrawal local currency from ATMs. This method has never failed me 👍🏻
If you don’t have your seat number yet, just put 1A for now. They ask that you update it once you have your actual seat number although many don’t ever update it (including me). So I wouldn’t get too hung up on that detail.
Can you fill the the health surveillance form after checking at the airport since I didn’t choose a seat number when booking my ticket and don’t have the seat number to fill on the form??it doesn’t take long time right to fill it at airport if I go earlier and get a response right??
Fill it out before going to the airport and put a placeholder seat number on the form, something random (1A). You technically are supposed to change the seat number after checking in with the most updated seat number but nobody looks closely at this anymore - it was all meant to track your location if you ever tested positive for Covid. Overall would not worry too much about this being perfectly accurate :)
On the ministry of health surveillance form, it says negative Covid19 PCR as one of the questions. My husband is vaccinated so he won't be getting a PCR. I assume it is ok to answer NO?
Good idea. I am just nervous to book my flight and get declined the eVisa. This is my first time traveling with Visa. Do you recommend any area to stay in Nairobi as a Solo traveler or areas to avoid?
Those areas aren’t as high risk as other parts of Kenya. Many people travel to the Mara and Amboseli and don’t take anti malaria medication. During my trip in May/June I chose not to take anti malaria medication because the mosquitos exposure was low-moderate that time of year.
Hello, I ran across your video on RUclips about the requirements for Kenya. I’m traveling to Kenya in November. However, I’m having issues paying for my visa. I keep getting this message.. Payment Failed: Request parameters are invalid or missing. Did you happen to have this problem?

@@Jeff_Hyer Thanks for your quick answer! I went ahead and submitted my VISA and was approved! For clarification of my question, since this might help others. What I meant was when I was filling out the E-Visa there was no location for uploading the document for flight arrival or departure. It only had the options to upload a passport sized photo, passport front cover, the passport bio page, and hotel reservation. I was always under the impression that they wanted to have the flight tickets submitted to them on the visa as proof of being able to leave, so I was concerned. All is well, I'll be in Nairobi September 16th :)

Hello, I’m glad you found this video to be helpful. I haven’t heard of anyone needing an invitation letter before… the most you will need is information for the visa about where you’re staying.
No you don't need an invitation letter. You might be asked ti fill out a form with address of where you are staying though but in Kenya they don't really pay attention to these things. Passport and evisa are the main things.
@@vergecryptocurrency4552 but when I go to fill out and evisa it ask why are you visiting kenya should I put turiosm because and do I have to fill out the invitation letter part on the evisa or can I skip it without them rejecting my evisa
@@kevinyoungsr7248 tourism yes. I don't remember any invitation part of the evisa. But to be honest the information you put in the evisa isnt really too important. I've just made up addresses before and have no issues. When the evisa prints out it only contains important info like name etc. They just want your money , its how kenya is.

Do we have to be vaccinated or can we just have a negative covid test to enter Kenya?
A negative covid test works just fine :)
@@Jeff_Hyer thank you so much!
@@Jeff_Hyer How do you know that? Have you seen someone with whom it was enough? I am very worried right now that everything booked could fail because of it. On some pages it is different.
@@sergejur I’m worried about the same. I was just in Tanzania and Ethiopia recently. I want to book my stay in Kenya but afraid if I show up with a negative pcr that I’ll get turned away
@@cashmerenasengo0411 sorry to bother you, did you end up going with just a negative pcr? Did it go smoothly?
Wonderful video very simple step by step I am planning to travel their in September can I ask if you need a invitation letter if you going to meet someone from Kenya
Hello, I’m glad you found this video to be helpful. I haven’t heard of anyone needing an invitation letter before… the most you will need is information for the visa about where you’re staying.
Check e citizen Kenya
No you don't need an invitation letter. You might be asked ti fill out a form with address of where you are staying though but in Kenya they don't really pay attention to these things. Passport and evisa are the main things.
@@vergecryptocurrency4552 but when I go to fill out and evisa it ask why are you visiting kenya should I put turiosm because and do I have to fill out the invitation letter part on the evisa or can I skip it without them rejecting my evisa
@@kevinyoungsr7248 tourism yes. I don't remember any invitation part of the evisa. But to be honest the information you put in the evisa isnt really too important. I've just made up addresses before and have no issues. When the evisa prints out it only contains important info like name etc. They just want your money , its how kenya is.
I fly for Kenya Visa is it difficult
I’m not sure if I fully understand your question. In my experience, obtaining a Single-Entry Tourist Visa for Kenya was straightforward and easy.
To pay for the visa is impossible so please don't waste your time applying for the visa. To pay for it is hard
