Our guide to the Singapore visa from Kenya
A passport from Kenya allows entry to Singapore without a visa for a short tourist stay of up to 30 days. No visa application is needed: you simply have to meet the conditions checked on entry.
Kenyan travellers stopping in Singapore during a tour of Asia, or spending their holiday there, have no visa to request. The main point to watch is timing: the permitted stay is no more than 30 days, and an exit ticket may be required. This guide sets out what to know before leaving Kenya.
Do you need a visa for Singapore?
No. For short-term tourism, holders of a passport from Kenya enter Singapore without a visa. The permitted stay is 30 days at most, whether Singapore is one stop on a longer trip or your only destination. No visa formality is required; for any other purpose of stay, refer to the official information page.
How long can citizens of Kenya stay in Singapore?

Timing and tips
As there is no application to submit, there is no processing time to plan for. On a multi-country trip, note your entry and exit dates so that you stay under the limit of 30 days in Singapore. Check the official page just before departure, as entry conditions can change, and keep an offline copy of your tickets.
What to show at the border of Singapore
Documents required for a visa for Singapore:
- Passport valid 6 months beyond stay
- Online application (no paper form)
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
- Proof of accommodation
Entry requirements
A valid passport is essential; the minimum validity required is specified on ica.gov.sg. If Singapore is only one stop, keep proof of your flight to the next destination: an onward ticket may be requested, just like a return ticket. The address of your accommodation and sufficient funds may also be checked.
Documents and fees
This trip involves no visa fee. Gather your passport, your tickets (including the one out of Singapore) and your accommodation bookings, on paper and on your phone.

Common mistakes
Buying a “Singapore visa” from an unofficial website is money wasted: with a passport from Kenya, no visa is required for a short tourist stay. On multi-country trips, the classic mistake is boarding without proof of your onward travel. Other pitfalls are a passport with too little validity left and a stay that exceeds the 30 permitted days.
Other visa types for Singapore
A tourist stay is not the only purpose. These are the other permits the destination issues and that your nationality is eligible for, each with its own fee and processing time.
