Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Here is a sample of a Visa to Kenya:
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.
To complete the online application form for a Kenya eTA for Indians, you will need certain documents.
Passport copy: A clear, colour scan of the information page (typically page 2 or 3) and the last page of your passport. These pages contain your personal details, passport number, and visa stamps (if applicable).
Passport-sized photograph: A recent, high-quality colour photograph taken against a plain white background. Ensure the photo adheres to the specific dimensions and guidelines provided by the relevant authorities.
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.
No, Indians can provide a digital copy of their passport when completing the online eTA application. You will not need to submit your physical passport, but you must have it with you when you travel to Kenya, as you will present the eTA along with your passport upon arrival.
After completing the Kenya eTA application online, you will receive an email notification of approval progress. After approval, you will get your approved eTA online, which can take a few days. Therefore, you’re advised to apply for the eTA as soon as you know your travel plans so you have enough time to process them.
Yes, a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is generally required to enter Kenya, especially for travelers arriving from countries where the disease is endemic. Based on your travel itinerary and personal health conditions, additional vaccinations may also be recommended.
No, a valid East Africa Tourist Visa allows you to travel to Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda without the need for an additional eTA.
An eTA does not guarantee entry into Kenya. While it is a mandatory requirement for travel to Kenya, it is merely a pre-authorization. Upon arrival, immigration officials retain the right to question you and deny entry if they deem it necessary.
Therefore, having a valid eTA is essential but not sufficient for guaranteed entry
After applying for your visa, you can track its status online using the Axis Kenya visa status check tool.
If you need to modify your travel dates after obtaining an eTA, you will generally need to contact the Kenyan immigration authorities directly. They can provide specific guidance on the process and requirements for updating your travel information.
Yes, you can usually correct errors in your eTA application. Look for a link to update your submission in the confirmation email you received after applying. This link will allow you to access and modify your application details.
Note: The availability of this option might depend on the specific eTA system.
To extend your stay in Kenya, you must apply for a visitor’s pass extension in person at the Immigration Services office located at Nyayo House, Nairobi. Be aware that there might be additional requirements and fees involved in this process. It’s advisable to start the extension process well before your current permit expires to avoid any potential issues.
