Pursuant to the decision by EAC Council of Minister's meeting held in Arusha from 22nd to 29th November 2021, the deadline for phasing out of the old generation passport for all EAC member States is November 2022.

In line with this decision, the Directorate of Immigration Services wishes to inform the general public that Kenya is bound to migrate fully to the new East African Community biometric e-passport by 30th November 2022.

Kenyans are therefore hereby advised to acquire the new Biometric e-passport to avoid any inconveniences.

However, renewal/ replacement of the old generation Kenya passport will continue normally at the Mission after this deadline.
