Required for cross-border clearance. Ensure it is valid for the full journey and meets each destination's entry rules.
Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda
Cross-border travel requirements
For international coach travel with Super Metro, carry a valid passport and every visa or health document required for your nationality and itinerary. Check official entry rules shortly before departure because requirements can change.
Visa or travel authorization
Requirements depend on nationality and the countries entered or crossed, including Uganda on a Nairobi–Kigali itinerary.
Health documentation
Carry any vaccination certificates or other health documents required under current official rules for your route.
Do I need a passport for Nairobi–Kampala or Nairobi–Kigali?
Yes. These are international journeys, so a valid passport is required for border clearance. A Nairobi–Kigali trip also passes through Uganda, meaning you should check the rules for every country on the itinerary rather than only the final destination.
How do I know which visa I need?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality, travel document, destination, and transit itinerary. Check the official immigration guidance for Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda as applicable, and obtain any required visa or authorization before departure.
When should I arrive for my coach?
Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before your scheduled departure. This allows time for check-in and preparation of cross-border paperwork; arriving earlier is sensible during busy travel periods.
- Keep your passport and supporting documents accessible, not inside checked luggage.
- Use the same full name on your passenger details as shown on your passport.
- Check your booking route, date, departure time, and selected seats before payment.
- Allow extra time for immigration and customs processing at border points.
Are border formalities included in the journey time?
Published journey times are approximate. Traffic, weather, coach operations, immigration queues, and customs checks can all affect arrival time, so avoid arranging a time-critical connection immediately after the expected arrival.
