Visitors should be aware that Kenya is now strictly enforcing a similar "blank pages, condition of entry" as South Africa.

Those requiring a visa (including all British citizens)  are now advised to have at least two blank pages available in their passport on arrival, failure to meet this requirement could mean that entry will be refused.

Please make sure that all travellers to Kenya over the Christmas period are duly informed.

• This is not a “new” regulation.  Travellers need to have at least one blank page for the visa and preferably a second blank page for the exit stamp.  Visas are usually not affixed on pages containing any other information, hence the need for the blank page.
• This practice has been in place all along and it is just being re-emphasized to remind travellers.
• It is customary world-wide for travellers to be required to have the space for the visas and the practice is not unique to Kenya.

In view of the above position by Immigration, visitors should be advised that those arriving without a pre-acquired visa will need to have the two blank pages.  Visitors acquiring their visa overseas, the requirement will have been communicated to them at the Embassy.
