Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian travellers must obtain an approved electronic travel authorisation (eTA) before flying to Kenya; there is no visa-free entry for tourism.
Kenya has replaced the tourist visa with an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) that Indonesian citizens apply for online at etakenya.go.ke before departure. The application is remote, with no embassy appointment, and approval arrives by email. The exact fee and duration appear on the official portal.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, in the form of an eTA. Indonesian nationals must obtain an approved eTA before boarding for Kenya; there is no visa-free tourist entry. The eTA covers short stays; check the permitted purpose on the portal.
How and where to apply
Applications are made only online at etakenya.go.ke, from Indonesia or elsewhere, a few days before departure. You create an account, enter your itinerary and accommodation, and upload a photo and the passport page. The approved authorisation is emailed and must be shown at check-in and again on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Indonesian passport valid for at least six months, a digital photo, an accommodation address and a return ticket. The eTA amount is set by the Kenyan authorities and shown during the application; the reference data lists no confirmed price, so refer to the official portal.
Processing and tips
Apply at least a few working days before departure, as processing is not instant. Check whether a yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required depending on your route before Kenya. Keep the approved eTA available, both printed and digital.
Common mistakes
Common errors are applying for the eTA too late, mistyping the passport number, or using a paid intermediary site instead of the official portal. Check that the details entered exactly match the passport before submitting.
