Entry details

Holders of a Samoa passport need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), not a visa when visiting Kenya. The Samoa passport currently ranks #84 of 199 worldwide, with 115 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. Access is actually lopsided the other way โ€” Kenya citizens enter Samoa more easily (visa on arrival).

In the opposite direction, Kenya citizens travelling to Samoa face: visa on arrival.
