Kenya eVisa for Nigerian citizens was introduced in 2015 to make it easier for all Nigerians to enter Kenya. The online visa functions as a travel authorization allowing a short-term stay in the Republic of Kenya.
Its holders can use it for business, tourism, or transit reasons. Many travelers now choose the more convenient way to obtain the obligatory visa to Kenya by applying for their visa online.
The application for an eVisa is an entirely online process that requires no Embassy visits. The process of completing the Kenya visa application form should maximally take 15 minutes requiring basic necessities, including access to an Internet-connected electronic device or having an active email address.
Nigeria citizens may select from the following four available types of online visas to Kenya:
To start an online application, all applicants need to grab a working device, check the Internet connection, and click on the 'Apply Online' button. Next, you will need to follow 3 more steps to submit your application:
PROCESSING TIME
69 business hours is the average time to process the majority of Kenya eVisa applications. However, the standard processing time is 3 business days. Submit your application a minimum of 72 business hours ahead of your planned trip to Kenya.
An error-free online form can help you avoid unnecessary delays in your eVisa approval. In turn, any mistake can extend the processing time. Check your application twice and enjoy your approved eVisa as soon as possible!
KENYA EVISA FEE
All single-entry online visas to Kenya require covering the processing fee of 99 Euro, while those applying for East Africa eVisa need to pay 149 Euro.
There are several means of online payment that all Nigerians can choose from to cover the fee.

Please note: When going to Kenya for business reasons, applicants should consider making a tourist eVisa application to reduce the number of documentation to be attached to the online application form.
