Where do you apply for a visa for Kenya from Indonesia?
An e-visa for Kenya is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Indonesia on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Indonesia but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Kenya take?
72 hours
Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.
Processing times and tips
The observed processing time is 72 hours. Since an incomplete application may be delayed, it is wise to submit it well before your flight and to check that your name, date of birth and passport number are identical to those on the document. Also keep the payment receipt until you receive the authorization.
Before you fly, and at the border
Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Common mistakes
Paying an unofficial intermediary that resells the same procedure at a significant markup is the most widespread mistake; go directly through the official portal (etakenya.go.ke). Some travelers also leave with an authorization issued for an old passport, or plan a stay longer than the 90 days allowed. Read your application again before submitting it.
