Entry details

Travelling to Kenya on a Senegal passport, you need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), not a visa. The Senegal passport currently ranks #154 of 199 worldwide, with 55 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

Kenya is one of the world's more welcoming destinations, 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. Interestingly Kenya citizens have the better deal, facing only visa on arrival in the opposite direction.

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