Kenya requires an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for entry, applied for online before you travel — the official eTA portal confirms this is required, though specific eligibility, fees and permitted stay for Indian passport holders should be confirmed directly since they weren't detailed on the portal's homepage. Apply through the official channel only, well ahead of your trip.
Where to check the current rules
- Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) — the official portal for applying online and checking eligibility, fees, and processing times.
Last checked for this guide on 5 August 2026. Fees and permitted stay duration can change — always confirm on the official portal before booking.
What to have ready before you apply
- Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.
- A digital passport-style photo, typically required for eTA applications.
- Return or onward flight confirmation and proof of accommodation.
