Let’s talk COVID

All persons coming into Kenya must be in possession of a negative Covid-19 PCR Certificate, acquired no more than 96 hours prior to arrival; with the PCR Certificate also having been validated under the Trusted Travel platform for those travelling by air. (Please note that the rapid test is not acceptable). The Kenya government launched a vaccination drive in March 2021 and have targeted to vaccinate half the adult population by the end of 2021. A few days before you depart from your country of origin, (preferably after you have received your Covid-19 negative certificate), you will then need to register online on https://ears.health.go.ke/airline_registration/ . This is the Kenya Government Ministry of Health Travelers Health Surveillance Form and is being collected as part of public health response to the Corona Virus pandemic. After you register, you will get a QR CODE which you will print out and present to the Port Health Officer upon arrival into the Nairobi Airport. It is important to physically have a copy of this QR code. This form is very easy to complete. PCR testing facilities are widely available to conduct tests as required for your trip back home.
