Entry requirements
- Egypt’s official e‑Visa portal lists the nationalities eligible to apply online; Kenya is not included in that list, so Kenyan travellers should obtain the appropriate visa via an Egyptian embassy/consulate before travel.
- If you do have an e‑Visa (eligible nationalities), the official portal lists typical arrival requirements such as passport validity (6+ months), travel itinerary, and hotel booking/details.
- A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers arriving from countries with risk of Yellow Fever transmission (WHO notes Kenya is a risk country).
Passport
Passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival (per Egypt e‑Visa portal entry requirements).
Health — Yellow fever
Yellow Fever vaccination certificate required for travellers over 9 months arriving from a Yellow Fever risk country; Egypt also requires it for travellers transiting more than 12 hours through the airport of a risk country (per WHO country list).
Rules can change and may vary by purpose and port of entry; always verify with official Egyptian authorities and your airline before travel.
