Yes — Pakistani passport holders need a visa to visit Kenya. This October 2026 guide explains the Kenya visa requirements for Pakistani citizens: which visa to apply for, the documents you need, processing time, current price and how to apply from Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi or anywhere in Pakistan.
Since January 2024 Kenya has replaced visas with the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for almost all visitors, including Pakistani citizens. The eTA is applied for online on the official etakenya.go.ke portal and must be approved before you board your flight.
