COVID-19 KENYA DEPARTURE REQUIREMENTS
- The PCR Certificate is only required of departing passengers whose destination country or airline require it. All other departing passengers do not need to present this certificate to leave Kenya but will be subjective to normal checks – e.g. screening.
- The Trusted Traveller Code is also not required of passengers inbound to Kenya. Incoming visitors will simply present their PCR negative certificates issued within 96 hours of departure from the country of origin. The direct transit time to Kenya is not counted as part of the 96 hours.
- More information can be found on the KCAA Clarification on TT Code.
