No conventional advance visitor-visa process may be required for qualifying Kenyan citizens travelling under applicable EAC arrangements; current entry documentation should nevertheless be confirmed before travel.
Visa and entry requirements may change. Sunward Travel will confirm the applicable requirements at the time of travel. The issuance of a visa or permission to enter is the sole prerogative of the issuing country's immigration/consular authorities, and Sunward Travel does not guarantee a successful visa application or entry for any applicant or nationality.
