Buckle up as we unravel the 2023 mystery of Kenyan passport costs and how they shape your expedition plans!

Types of Kenyan Passports

Before we discuss the cost, let’s briefly review the types of Kenyan passports available in 2023. Kenyan citizens can apply for three types of passports:

Ordinary Passport (32 Pages)
Ordinary Passport (50 Pages)
Ordinary Passport (66 Pages)
Diplomatic and Official Passport
Lost Passport
mutilated Passport

Ordinary Passport (32 Pages)

This is the most popular and most applied passport, it has a total of 34 pages. It is common for people who don’t travel as frequently. It is also preferred due to its low cost of application.

Ordinary Passport (50 Pages)

The ordinary C series passport and the diplomatic passport have the same page count of 50 pages. The only difference is that the Diplomatic passport is only given to diplomats and some government officials while the ordinary 50 pages passport is for everyone. They also have different application fees

Ordinary Passport (66 Pages)

This is the passport I would really recommend for a frequent traveller for the simple reason that it will not fill up fast. The cost of application is pretty high but it is definitely worth it. When it is not available the other option would be the 50 pages series
