🇰🇪 Kenya visa requirements for Dominican citizens
Dominican citizens need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Kenya — a quick online approval, not a full visa.
Entry rules for Dominican Republic passport holders
Kenya requires Dominican visitors to register online for an electronic travel authorization before departure. An eTA is lighter than a visa — approval is usually issued within minutes to hours — but airlines will deny boarding without it, so complete it before heading to the airport.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Kenya immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares
The Dominican passport ranks #123 worldwide, opening 71 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (31 visa-free, 37 with a visa on arrival and 3 with an eTA). Kenya is one of them.
This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Kenyan citizens need to arrange entry to Dominican Republic in advance (visa required).
Across Eastern Africa as a whole, 12 of 16 destinations are open to Dominican travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
