Kthx.

From 9 May 2023 the Government of Kenya no longer requires proof of either COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test for entry into Kenya.

I was planning for an evisa but the site looks down.

Anyone knows if I could still get a visa on arrival from EU with an EU passport and if I still need a nose rape certificate (aka covid test for the unvaxxed)?

Kthx.

When I arrive March 15 I was able to receive 140 shillings to the dollar in nairobi which was above the official rate then the President made a speech about the giving dollars over the official rate so the dollar is now before the offiicial rate I was able to receive 135 on Friday April 28. I guess Kenya has a big black on dollars they want dollars here.

There have been violent protests starting Monday, March 20. I understand they will be held every Monday and Thursday. Nairobi, Eldoret, Kisumu and Kakamega are the most violent so far.

On December 8, I asked Kenya Immigration a question that comes up often between long stay travelers in Kenya:

Q: "After my Kenya 3 month tourist visa and 1-3 month extension expire, do I need to leave the East Africa Community (EAC)?

A: "We get this question often. You must leave Kenya and apply for a new Kenya visa; you are NOT required to leave EAC. ".

In fact, I apply and print my new Kenya visa before I leave Kenya.

And complete it through the Global Haven portal. So I completed it.

At Tanzania airport, Tanzania Air had their staff pre screening passengers passports, checking vaccination status, before allowing you to get to the ticket counter. Ticket counter never asked to see a QR code, nor asked to see my vaccine card. They just concentrated on ticketing and baggage drop off. At Tanzania immigration, I had to fill out a departure card for my stay in Tanzania.

I get to Nairobi, and way before you are allowed to get to Immigration, staffers are just outside of the building asking for vaccine certs. This was a quick process that took seconds. They were not spending any time closely examining vaccine certs. I showed my vaccine card which was quickly glanced at and then I was allowed to go straight to immigration. I'm not sure if there were any individuals who volunteered to show a Global Haven QR code instead. But showing a QR code obviously wasnt required.

At immigration there were NO arrival cards required to be filled out (Like I had to do in Tanzania). I showed my 5 yr e-visa, was asked how long was I staying this trip in Kenya. Was then advised that since I have a 5 yr visa, I should go to the US embassy in Nairobi to get my passport stamped so I won't have to rely on the paper copy of my e-visa for subsequent visits.

Another thing I was happy about, is that no other vaccinations were required to enter Kenya, namely not needing a Yellow Fever certification. Entering Kenya was a very smooth process, same as it was entering Tanzania. Not having to wear masks in these countries, on their planes or within their airports was a very welcome change to what I was used to.

Hi,

I flew from Bangkok to Nairobi on Kenya Airways. No yellow fever certificate was asked for on arrival in Kenya. However, on the return flight to Bangkok the yellow fever vaccine certificate was needed.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you guys. Thanks a lot. So far, I think I will be ok. It seems in Nairobi YF may be recommended but not required. I did upload my vaccination documents on the GlobalHaven portal. The best part was that I did not have to resize any documents/pics to make the system accept them.

Here are Lufhansa requirements, when flying from Frankfurt to Mombasa, right now:

"Passengers:- must have a COVID-19 vaccination certificate showing that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arrival; or- must have a COVID-19 PCR test in English taken at most 72 hours before departure from the first embarkation point; or- are subject to a COVID-19 rapid antigen test upon arrival.

Passports and other travel documents accepted for entry are considered valid until the day before the expiration date.

Passengers with flu-like symptoms must submit the Travel Health Certificate Application before departure at https://*******.com/3uszn3hk . ".

So no reason to visit any website unless you have flu, that is how I understand this. Airline companies are generally more strict of rules than immigration, in most of the cases. Because they are the ones who have to arrange flight back to the passenger somehow if he can't get through immigration. If you can get to the airplane then immigration will be solved usually.

The link only opens if it is downloaded.
Meanwhile I was told this might not be valid. However when I entered Nairobi Airport this month I passengers without QR were held up.

You're right. Since 22.09. 22 they dropped the global Haven requirement. I still needed it when I arrived in July. See attached.
