đźš— Driving a Foreign-Registered Car in Kenya: The Essentials


1. Temporary Importation Permit (Form C32 or Carnet de Passage en Douane):

EAC/COMESA Nationals: If you're from the East African Community (EAC) or Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), you'll need to obtain a Form C32 at the border. This permit allows temporary importation of your vehicle without paying import duties.


Non-EAC/COMESA Nationals: For visitors from outside these regions, a Carnet de Passage en Douane (CDP) is required. This international customs document acts as a passport for your vehicle, guaranteeing that it will be re-exported.


2. Foreign Vehicle Permit:

After securing the Form C32 or CDP, you must apply for a Foreign Vehicle Permit through the NTSA via the eCitizen portal. The permit's validity and fees depend on your vehicle's engine capacity and the duration of your stay. For instance, a vehicle below 2000cc may attract a fee of Ksh 2,570 for one month or Ksh 6,425 for three months.


3. COMESA Yellow Card Insurance:

This is a regional motor insurance scheme recognized across COMESA member countries, including Kenya. It provides the minimum required third-party liability coverage, ensuring you're legally insured while driving in Kenya. This in additional to local insurance insurance, you can cruise the country comfortably.
