Pakistani travellers do need advance approval to enter Kenya. Kenya has moved to an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system, so you apply online before you fly rather than getting a stamp on arrival. At Trips.pk, the Kenya visa service starts from PKR 31,000 per person (discounted from PKR 33,000), with an estimated processing time of 7 working days. This guide covers who needs it, the documents, the fee, the steps and the mistakes that cause delays.

Do Pakistani Citizens Need a Visa for Kenya?
Yes. Pakistani passport holders must obtain approval before travelling to Kenya. For tourism, business meetings and short visits, the usual route is the Kenya eTA, applied for online through the official government portal. Approval is sent by email, and you should carry a printed copy when you travel.
- Kenya is not visa-free for Pakistani passport holders.
- You must apply before boarding. Airlines may refuse to carry you without an approved authorisation.
- Requirements, fees and naming (eTA or eVisa) can change, so always confirm on the official portal before paying.
Kenya Visa Types for Pakistani Citizens
The right category depends on why you are travelling and how many countries you plan to visit.
| Visa / Authorisation | Best for | Typical stay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kenya eTA (single entry, tourist) | Safaris, holidays, family visits | Up to 30 days per entry (confirm on portal) | Most common choice for Pakistani tourists |
| Transit eTA | Connecting through Nairobi to another country | A few days | Required if you leave the airport or your itinerary demands it |
| East Africa Tourist Visa | Visiting Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda on one trip | Multiple entry across the three countries | Check first-entry and validity rules when booking |
| Business / referral visas | Work, conferences, long stays | Varies | Often needs an invitation letter and longer processing |
Kenya eTA (Single Entry Tourist)
This is the standard option if you are visiting Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nairobi or the Diani coast. Applications are made online, and approval is usually communicated by email.
Transit eTA
Even a layover can require authorisation, depending on whether you stay airside and how your tickets are issued. Check this before booking a cheap connection.
East Africa Tourist Visa
If your plan includes gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda, this regional visa can save time and money compared with applying separately for each country.
Kenya Visa Requirements for Pakistani Citizens
Prepare your documents before you start. Missing or unclear scans are the most common reason applications are delayed.
| Document | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Passport | Valid for at least 6 months from arrival, with at least one blank page |
| Passport scan | Clear colour scan of the bio data page |
| CNIC | Front and back scan |
| Photograph | Recent passport-size photo on a white background |
| Return flight reservation | Confirmed itinerary showing departure from Kenya |
| Accommodation proof | Hotel booking or invitation letter |
| Proof of funds | Recent bank statement |
| Travel insurance | Recommended, and sometimes requested |
Tip: Keep scanned copies in PDF or JPG format and make sure every name and date matches your passport exactly. A single spelling mismatch can lead to rejection.
Travelling to Kenya is easier when your cover is sorted too, so consider travel insurance for your Kenya trip before you apply.
Kenya Visa Fee from Pakistan (2026)
Two costs make up your total: the official government fee and the service fee for handling the application.
| Cost item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trips.pk Kenya visa service | From PKR 31,000 per person | Discounted from PKR 33,000 |
| Official eTA government fee | [Confirm current USD amount on the official portal] | Set by the Kenyan government and can change |
| Estimated processing time | 7 working days | Allow extra time during peak travel seasons |
Official fees and timelines change, so verify them on the official Kenya eTA portal before you pay. Applying through a registered agency like Trips.pk means a specialist reviews your documents before submission, which reduces the risk of avoidable errors.
Kenya Visa Processing Time
Official processing can be quick, but real-world timing depends on workload and how complete your application is. As a rule:
- Apply at least 2 to 3 weeks before your travel date.
- Allow more time for business, referral or embassy-processed visas.
- Avoid booking non-refundable flights until your approval arrives.

Kenya Visa Validity and Length of Stay
A standard single-entry tourist authorisation generally allows a stay of up to 30 days per entry, but validity and permitted stay depend on the category you are granted. Read your approval notice carefully for exact dates. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry bans.
