Practical FAQs

Short answers linked back to dated supporting evidence.

In this guide (11 sections)

Does one visa cover all three hosts?

Not in the verified baseline. The existing East African Tourist Visa covers Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, not Tanzania. E12.

Is there an AFCON fan visa?

A PAMOJA framework is proposed, not verified as operative. E15.

Does everyone need Kenya's eTA?

No. Kenya publishes passport/status exemptions, including EAC partner-state citizens. Verify your own category. E06.

What insurance applies in Kenya?

The official eTA portal publishes a mandatory inbound health-insurance notice. Check its latest scope and acceptable proof. E07.

What insurance applies in Tanzania?

Mainland insurance rules began in 2026 for applicable visitors. A valid policy for the same mainland/Zanzibar journey need not automatically be purchased twice; first entry and exemptions matter. E09, E10.

Is a yellow-fever certificate mandatory for Uganda?

NCIC's October 2026 notice says no general entry requirement, while older official application checklists still ask for one. Seek current route-specific clarification. E13.

Is Arusha part of Tanzania's AFCON 2027 plans?

Yes, in documented tournament preparations. CAF's inspection programme names Samia Suluhu Stadium in Arusha, and TFF lists Arusha with Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar among Tanzania's planned venues. CAF has not allocated final matches or fixtures to Arusha in the reviewed evidence. E05, E03, CAF source.

Are Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Zanzibar and Kampala final match cities?

They are preparation and inspection locations; final fixtures and match venues must come from CAF. E03.

Can I safely book a non-refundable stadium hotel?

Only once the actual venue and access suit your plans. Until then, prioritise flexible cancellation. E19.

Can KAONE get me match tickets?

No. Refer to a CAF-designated official channel if and when announced. E23.

Does Calculate Fees plan an itinerary?

No. Calculate Fees and Trip Scheduling remain distinct Tanzania capabilities. E21.
