All travelers arriving into Kenya through any point of entry must have a certificate of Covid-19 vaccination, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority has said.

In a statement, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority said these regulations apply to all with an exemption of travelers with medical conditions precluding vaccination.

The Authority said such persons shall be required to provide a letter from a recognized medical practitioner detailing the medical reason precluding vaccination.

KCAA has also exempted returning unvaccinated Kenyans who have difficulty accessing vaccines in their current country of residence.

The body said such persons must be prepared to be vaccinated immediately upon arrival and must register for vaccination on the Chanjo-Ke platform before departure.

Proof of registration shall be required before entry into the country.

All travelers coming to Kenya who are fully vaccinated shall be exempt from the requirement of a PCR test.

All eligible unvaccinated travelers arriving at any port of entry into Kenya must be in possession of a valid Covid-19 negative PCR test certificate conducted within 72 hours before departure regardless of the route of entry.

Children below the age of five years are exempted from this requirement.

For the unvaccinated travelers arriving at any point of entry, shall be subjected to a rapid antigen test at their own cost of Sh3,000.
