Temporary vehicle import to Kenya

A visa and a vehicle are different law: the person and the car are given their terms by different authorities, and those terms need not match.

How the term is counted
per entry
Carnet de Passages
Required
Extension
Possible

KRA notice says a free 14‑day permit is issued at entry; on expiry you may seek an extension not exceeding 90 days for Form C32 and foreign permits. That shorter limit mainly affects Kenyan/resident vehicles; non‑resident tourists using a Carnet are generally allowed up to 12 months before re‑export.

Motor vehicles should be re-exported within such a period not exceeding twelve months from the date of importation.
