Can I extend the East Africa visa?

No extensions are possible. You must leave the region after 90 days and apply for a new visa if you want to return.

What if I only want to visit one country?

You still pay $100 for the regional visa, but you can apply for individual country visas instead (Kenya $51, Uganda $50, Rwanda $30) if you're certain you won't cross borders.

Do I need yellow fever vaccination?

Yes, yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry to all three countries. Carry your yellow card - immigration will check it.

Can I enter through any border crossing?

You must enter through designated ports of entry: major airports and specific land borders. Check the visa approval letter for the complete list of valid entry points.

How to Get an East Africa Tourist Visa

The East Africa Tourist Visa costs $100 and covers Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda for 90 days. Apply online through any of the three countries' official portals, upload required documents, and receive your visa within 5-7 business days.

Choose your entry point country. Apply through Kenya (ecitizen.go.ke), Uganda (visas.immigration.go.ug), or Rwanda (irembo.gov.rw). It doesn't matter which - the visa works for all three countries.
Gather required documents. You need: passport valid for 6+ months, recent passport photo, travel itinerary showing visits to at least 2 of the 3 countries, proof of accommodation for first night, and return flight ticket.
Complete the online application. Fill out the form completely. Upload clear, color scans of all documents. Double-check that your passport photo meets the 2x2 inch requirement with white background.
Pay the visa fee. Pay $100 USD online using Visa or Mastercard. Keep the payment confirmation - you'll need the reference number.
Wait for processing. Normal processing takes 5-7 business days. You'll get an email when it's ready. Download and print the visa approval letter.
Enter at the designated border. Present your printed approval letter, passport, and return ticket at immigration. The officer will stamp your passport with the 90-day multiple-entry visa.
