Entry details
Holders of a Somalia passport do not need a visa when visiting Kenya. The Somalia passport currently ranks #195 of 199 worldwide, with 33 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. Both sit in Africa, where regional agreements often shape entry rules. The relationship isn't symmetric: Somalia travellers get easier access here than Kenya citizens get in return (e-visa required).
In the opposite direction, Kenya citizens travelling to Somalia face: e-visa required.
