Do I need a Kenyan Visa
My wife and I will be travelling with KLM to Tanzania in June. However,
this involves a stop off in Nairobi. Will we require a Kenyan visa as well as a Tanzanian visa? Thanks for your help Dave B |

Thanks for your help Dave B as long as you dont get off the plane. you can get transit visa at the airport. 20 bucks. check out www.kenyaembassy.com in US or http://www.kenyahighcommission.com for UK -- We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. - 2 Corinthians 4:8, 9 Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

Why would you need a transit visa if you already have a Tanzania visitor
visa? (Though this may depend on the nationality of your passport). For many, a Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania visitor visa will allow entry to the other two countries. |

Do I need a Kenyan Visa
If your KLM flight only stops and then continues,
you can disembark and roam around the duty free shops with no visa. But if you have to exit the terminal and either fly to Tanzania from the smaller airport (Wilson) or drive to Tanzania, then you are entering Kenya and obviously need a visa to be there. |

Certainly I've always needed separate visas for Kenya and Tanzania (UK Passport); in the years that visas have been needed (this varies) Liz -- Virtual Liz at http://www.v-liz.co.uk Kenya; Tanzania; India; Seychelles; Namibia "I speak of Africa and golden joys" |

Most interesting answer from you Liz, because I respect the advice you have
given over the years. We certainly entered Tanzania on a UK and Canadian passport without any Tanzanian documents, but with a Kenya visitor's visa. You have to ask, or they will sell you anything! It was only after a long talk in the Tanzanian consulate in Mombasa that they admitted that a Tanzanian visa (which I needed because I was a Kenyan resident) was good for multiple entries over a three month period. Until then I had dutifully bought a new one for each entry. I would suggest to prospective travellers that you ask several times before you pay out for a visa. And if you plan on buying one when you land, make sure you have the correct amount because nobody will be able to give you change!! |

Once we dutifully bought visas then, between getting them and going the need for a visa was revoked, which was annoying, but that was only short lived. I'm trying to remember where we needed a transit visa once (quite a few years back). I *thought* it was Kenya, but the chance of me being able to find out for sure is slim.
