Kenya entry requirements for Indian citizens
Short answerIndian citizens need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before travelling to Kenya. The official source doesn't state a fixed stay length. Check it before you travel.
- How long you can stay
- The official source doesn't state a fixed stay length. Check it before you travel.
- What you need
- Approved Kenya Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA)
- Passport valid for at least six months beyond planned arrival date, with at least one blank page
- Passport-type photo or selfie
- Confirmed accommodation booking and onward/return travel itinerary
- Good to know
- Ordinary Indian tourist-passport holders must obtain an eTA before travel; the only India-specific exemption stated on the official eTA site is for holders of Diplomatic, Official or Service passports of India, who may enter without an eTA for stays not exceeding 90 days - this does not apply to standard tourists. The eTA is valid for travel within 90 days of issuance; the actual length of stay is decided by the immigration officer at the point of entry.
