Kenya Visa Requirements
Kenya requires an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for most nationalities, replacing the previous visa system. The eTA costs approximately $30 USD and can be obtained online before travel. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days. Citizens of several African countries can enter visa-free. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from entry date with at least 2 blank pages.
Tanzania Visa Requirements
Tanzania offers e-visas through its online portal for most nationalities. The standard tourist visa costs $50 USD and is valid for 90 days. US citizens pay $100 USD. Visa on arrival is available at major entry points but applying online in advance is recommended to avoid queues. Zanzibar follows the same visa requirements as mainland Tanzania.
Rwanda Visa Requirements
Rwanda has one of Africa's most progressive visa policies. Citizens of African Union, Commonwealth and La Francophonie member countries receive a free 30-day visa on arrival. Other nationalities can obtain a single-entry tourist visa on arrival for $50 USD. The e-visa application is also available online and processed within 3 business days. Rwanda is part of the East Africa Tourist Visa arrangement.
Uganda Visa Requirements
Uganda requires a visa for most international visitors. The standard single-entry tourist visa costs $50 USD and must be obtained online before travel; Uganda does not issue visas on arrival. Processing usually takes under 3 working days. Gorilla trekking permits should be arranged separately through the Uganda Wildlife Authority.
Mauritius Visa Requirements
Mauritius offers visa-free entry for citizens of most countries for stays up to 60 days (90 days for some nationalities). No advance visa application is needed. On arrival, you'll need to show proof of accommodation, return flights, and sufficient funds. This makes Mauritius one of the easiest East African destinations to visit.
Seychelles Visa Requirements
Seychelles does not require a visa for any nationality — making it the most accessible destination in our portfolio. Visitors receive a free visitor's permit on arrival for up to 3 months. You'll need a valid passport, proof of accommodation, return ticket, and sufficient funds.
The East Africa Tourist Visa
The East Africa Tourist Visa (EATV) allows visitors to travel between Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda on a single visa costing $100 USD. Valid for 90 days with multiple entries, it's ideal for multi-country itineraries. Apply through any of the three countries' immigration portals. Note: Tanzania is not currently part of the EATV arrangement.
