Do I Need a Visa for Nairobi, Kenya from India?
For Indian passport holders · Check the linked sources and entry conditions before travel
Visa Details
Indian ordinary-passport visitors generally need an approved eTA before travel. Kenya recommends applying at least two weeks ahead. Prepare a passport valid for six months with one blank page, a photo, itinerary and accommodation confirmation. Normal processing generally takes three working days and can take longer; fees start at USD 30. An eTA authorizes travel, while immigration determines admission and the permitted stay. Check the approval's validity rather than assuming a 180-day window.
