Entry details

Holders of a Central African Republic passport need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), not a visa when visiting Kenya. The Central African Republic passport currently ranks #171 of 199 worldwide, with 49 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. As fellow Africa countries, their rules are frequently tied to regional arrangements. The relationship isn't symmetric: Central African Republic travellers get easier access here than Kenya citizens get in return (visa required).

In the opposite direction, Kenya citizens travelling to Central African Republic face: visa required.
