Relevant travel documents (must be in either PDF, JPG, or Microsoft Word)

Remember that the required documents for each Visa application are different. Therefore, please ensure you check out our guide on the Kenya E Visa required documents

How Do I Complete The Kenya Visa Application Form?

Now, to complete the Kenya Visa Application Form, you'll need to head to the online Kenyan Government Portal and start a Kenya Visa application.

As I mentioned earlier, completing the application form is the same as completing the Kenya Visa application process.

However, for the purpose of this post, we'll mainly focus on the information you must include when completing the application form.

When applying through Atlys, you don't have to type your information. You can scan your passport's barcode and automatically complete the information fields.Therefore, you are ensured of an error-free visa application form and decrease the chances of your Visa being rejected due to a human error.

You must read through the above image and ensure you meet the requirements.

On the first page, you'll also see the Kenya Visa fees and an important extra note. Here's what the note says:

Step 2: Select Who You Are Applying For

Next, you must select whether you are applying for:

An adult

A minor

This step is important because you must submit additional documents when applying for a minor.

Step 3: Enter Your Nationality And Residency Information

Here, you'll need to enter your nationality and residency information. This is especially important for travelers such as Green Card Holders or other Permanent residents.

Perhaps you are an Indian citizen, but you are a US Green Card Holder or permanent resident. In that case, you must indicate it within the application form.

Also, you must enter your address and contact information.

Step 4: Enter Your Passport Information

After clicking next, you must enter your passport information. Here you must include:

Your type of passport

Passport number

Where it was issued

Date of issue and expiry date

Who issued it (your nationality's government)

Step 5: Enter Your Personal Information

Here you must select if you have ever visited Kenya before and if you are traveling with a minor.

If you answer yes to any of the questions, you'll need to answer some additional information.

Step 6: Enter Your Travel Information

During this step, you'll need to select the Kenya visa type you want to apply for.

This is very important because each Visa type requires you to submit specific documents.

After clicking next, you must enter the following details.

Personal information (name, surname, etc.)

Travel information (date of entry, exit date, etc.)

Answer travel history-related questions

Please check out our Kenya E Visa (electronic Visa) Guide for information about the different types of Kenya E Visas.

Step 7: Upload Your Documents

Next, you must upload your documents. As I mentioned, each Kenya visa type requires you to submit specific documents.

However, here's a list of documents you can expect you submit:

Passport photo (get yours with Atlys' Passport Photo tool)

Copy the front cover of your passport

Copy of your passport biometric page

Hotel itinerary

Flight itinerary

Don't pay for your hotel accommodation or flight tickets before your Kenya Visa is approved. Rather use Atlys' free tools to get your passport photo, hotel, and flight itinerary.

Step 8: Review And Submit

We're almost done. Although this step seems straightforward and self-explanatory, we urge you to review your information.

Most Visa applications get rejected due to incorrect information in their application forms. So please check that all your information is correct and you did not make any spelling mistakes.

Step 9: Pay Your Visa Fee

The second last step is to pay your Visa fee. Again, depending on what type of Kenya Visa you are applying for, you'll need to check how much you need to pay.

Here's a breakdown of what you can expect to pay for your Kenya Visa:

You can pay your Kenya Visa fee with your credit card or debit card. Please check our guide on Kenya Visa payment issues if you can't pay your Visa fee online.

Step 10: Wait For Your Visa To Be Approved

Although Kenya Visa applications generally take about 48 hours to be processed, we suggest you start your application at least 15 days before your planned departure date.

Once your Visa is processed, you'll receive an email with your approved Kenya E Visa. Remember to check your spam folder for notifications.

Do I Need To Print My Approved Kenya Visa?

After you receive your approved Kenya E Visa, you must print it out.

It is very important to print out your approved Visa because you must present it to authorities at the border.
