Entry details

Holders of a Afghanistan passport need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), not a visa when visiting Kenya. The Afghanistan passport currently ranks #199 of 199 worldwide, with 26 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

Kenya is notably open to foreign passports, admitting 198 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #127 with 70 open destinations. The relationship isn't symmetric: Afghanistan travellers get easier access here than Kenya citizens get in return (visa required).

In the opposite direction, Kenya citizens travelling to Afghanistan face: visa required.
