How to Get a Visa on Arrival?
If you hold a Kenyan passport and you need a visa on arrival (VOA), then follow these steps:
1. See if a visa on arrival is available. Check the table to see if the country you want to visit issues visas on arrival for Kenyan citizens. If it doesn’t then you won’t be able to get a VOA and you won’t be allowed to enter that country.
2. Find the correct airport. Before you depart, check to see which airports in that specific country issue visas on arrival since not all airports do.
3. Prepare your documents. You should also prepare a number of documents that may be required for your visa on arrival. These documents differ from country to country, but the general requirements include:
- Your passport
- Visa application form
- Proof of financial means
- Proof of hotel reservation
- Travel Insurance
- Proof of purchased return ticket
4. Pay the visa fee. To get a visa on arrival, you have to pay the fee as required by the office that issues your visa. The fee changes based on your country of destination, the visa type and whether it’s a single or a multiple entry visa.
