If you’re planning to apply for a Kenyan passport, one of the first questions you’re likely to ask is:
How much is a Kenyan passport right now?
As of today, the only passport currently available for new applications is the 66-page Kenyan passport, which costs KSh 12,550.
This has surprised many Kenyans because, until recently, applicants could choose from three different passport categories depending on their travel needs and budget.
Current Kenyan Passport Cost
The current fee for a new Kenyan passport application is:
66-Page Kenyan Passport: KSh 12,550
At the moment, this is the only passport category available for application through the eCitizen system.
Which Kenyan Passports Are Currently Unavailable?
The following passport categories are currently unavailable for new applications:
❌ 34-Page Ordinary Passport
❌ 50-Page Ordinary Passport
Applicants can no longer select these options when making a new passport application.
Is My Existing 34-Page or 50-Page Passport Still Valid?
Yes.
If you already hold a 34-page or 50-page Kenyan passport, you do not need to panic.
Your passport remains valid and can continue to be used until its expiry date, provided it is in good condition and meets travel requirements.
The current changes only affect new applications and do not invalidate existing passports.
Why Choose the 66-Page Kenyan Passport?
The 66-page passport offers more visa and entry stamp pages, making it ideal for:
- Frequent travelers
- Business professionals
- International students
- People working abroad
- Individuals who travel regularly within Africa and beyond
With more pages available, you are less likely to run out of space for immigration stamps and visas.
