🇺🇿 Does an Uzbekistani need a visa for Kenya 🇰🇪?

What this means for your trip

An ETA (electronic travel authorisation) is not a visa: it is an online pre-screening that airlines check before boarding.

It is normally approved within minutes to a few days; apply before you book non-refundable travel.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage

You need a travel adapter: Kenya uses plug types G, Uzbekistan uses C, F, I. Mains voltage differs (Kenya: 240 V; Uzbekistan: 220 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
