Ukraine visa requirements for Kenyan citizens

Ukrainian embassy or consulate (no e-Visa for this passport)

Citizens of Kenya need a visa for Ukraine and cannot apply for the e-Visa: the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal says it does not process it for this nationality, for tourism or for business. The visa is applied for at a Ukrainian embassy or consulate.

Fee

65 USD

Basic consular fee for nationalities that DO need a visa (per Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs): US$65 for regular processing, double for urgent processing. The e-Visa (electronic visa, where the nationality qualifies) costs US$20 for a single entry and US$30 for a double entry, paid online, and double that under the urgent procedure. Non-refundable if refused. Visa-exempt nationalities pay no entry fee.

Required documents

• Passport valid for the whole stay.
• Travel medical insurance valid in Ukraine, with a minimum coverage of €30,000, from an insurer registered in Ukraine or with an agreement with one (Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Standard travel policies usually exclude armed-conflict-related events: consider one with war-risk coverage if you're going to travel.
• Proof of the purpose of the trip and, depending on the border post, accommodation booking and a return ticket or onward ticket to a third country (checks reinforced under martial law).

Transit rules

Visa-free stay of up to 90 days for exempt nationalities. The exact reference period could not be confirmed against an official source. Entry is by land only: civilian airspace has been closed since February 2022 due to the war, there are no commercial flights to or from Ukraine. Under martial law, border checks are more thorough than before the conflict.
