The East Africa Tourist Visa;

If you are traveling to or through more than one East African countries, we recommend that you obtain an East African Tourist visa.

The East Africa Tourist Visa (EATV) will allow travel between Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda with the same multiple entry visa. Note that Tanzania is not part of the visa arrangement.

The EATV arrangement was as a result of a joint initiative made by the Heads of States of the respective partner countries to boost regional travel and create opportunities for tourists to explore the diversity of East Africa.

Travelers from any country can obtain a multiple entry visa that will allow entry to the Republic of Kenya, the Republic of Rwanda, and the Republic of Uganda for tourism over period of 90 days.
