Due to ongoing health and safety measures regarding Ebola, travelers are advised to verify all destination and transit entry requirements prior to travel.

Key Entry & Transit Guidelines for Kenya:

Screening & Restrictions: Enhanced screening and entry protocols are in place in Kenya for travelers arriving from, or who have recently visited, areas affected by Ebola (including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan).

Transit Rules: Passengers transiting through Kenya must comply with both local health regulations and the entry requirements of their final destination.

Scope: These measures apply to all travelers, including those arriving via indirect routings.

Important Notice for Travel Involving the United States:

Non-U.S. citizens/nationals must remain outside of Uganda, South Sudan, and the DRC for more than 21 days before entering the United States.

For travelers who have already exceeded this 21-day period outside these regions and require assistance with public health travel restrictions, please contact the U.S. DHS at Ebola-Travel-HELP@hq.dhs.gov.

Please check official government and Ministry of Health channels for the latest updates before your flight.
