Frequently Asked Questions
Do Indians need a visa to visit Kenya?
Yes. Indian citizens visiting Kenya need a mandatory Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), which is authorized by the Government of the Republic of Kenya and offers permission to travel.
When should I apply for an eTA?
You can submit an eTA application up to 90 days before your planned travel date. While most applications are processed within three days, there can be exceptions. To ensure a smooth travel experience, it’s recommended that you apply for your eTA at least two weeks before your departure date
Can I apply for an eTA before booking my travel plans?
No, you cannot apply for an eTA before booking your travel arrangements. The application process requires specific details about your travel itinerary, including arrival and departure dates. Therefore, it’s necessary to finalise your travel plans before starting the eTA application.
