You can board a flight to Kenya on a passport from DR Congo with no visa. You may stay up to 180 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.
- Status
- Visa free
- Stay permitted
- 180 days
- Government fee
- Nothing to pay
- Typical decision
- No application
There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.
Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Kenya visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.
If you are travelling on a different passport, Kenya's official entry rules are at etakenya.go.ke.
Before you fly
- Changing planes: a passport from DR Congo needs a visa even to stay airside in United Kingdom and Schengen area airports, unless you hold an exempting document. Transit rules legislation.gov.uk · read eur-lex.europa.eu · read
What Kenya asks for
- Passport valid for at least six months
- A passport-style photograph or a selfie taken in the application
- Return or onward ticket
- Hotel booking or the address where you will stay
- Proof of funds for the stay
Worth knowing
- The official Kenya eTA costs $30 and is applied for only at etakenya.go.ke. Agent sites charging $90 or more are filling in the same form for you.
- Kenya no longer runs an eVisa. Any site still selling a 'Kenya eVisa' is out of date or not genuine.
How long it takes
Apply before you travel. Kenya asks for the eTA to be approved before boarding.
