East Africa Tourist visa cost

Whichever country you use to process your travel permit, the East Africa Tourist visa price will be the same: $100 + $1 of processing fee. It is three times cheaper than applying for visas to Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda separately, in which case you have to pay about $50 each time.

You can pay East Africa Tourist visa fees online with MasterCard, Visa, or any other credit card. The price is non-refundable.

East African Tourist visa length of stay

The EATV allows travelers to stay in the countries for up to 90 days per six-month period.

The validity period for the East Africa visa begins on the planned date of entry indicated in your application form and not on the date of issue.

The EATV allows you to cross the borders of Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda more than once. However, if you decide to travel to a country not on the list (for example, Tanzania), the visa will expire.

Please note that you cannot extend the East African Tourist visa.
