Can I travel before I receive my Kenyan e-Visa from India?

No. You must enter Kenya with your valid eVisa so that the Immigration Officer at the border checkpoint can check it upon your arrival. Entering the country without a visa is considered unlawful. In this case, you will be removed from the country or even kept in prison.

If you want to obtain a visa to Kenya from India, you can apply for a Kenya eVisa for Indians. It is a 03 step process that takes you no more than 15 minutes to complete.

Step 1: Fill in the application form, providing visa details (number of visa, type of visa, processing time,..) and personal information (full name, gender, date of birth, nationality, and passport number)
Step 2: Review all the data provided in the previous step. In this step, you will be required to make the online payment for the visa application fee.
Step 3: Submit the application and wait for the result in a maximum of 03 business days. You can also expect to receive your Kenya eVisa sooner if you choose the urgent or super urgent visa service.

When you receive your eVisa, remember to download and have a printout before traveling. You also need to bring along a valid passport with you during the trip to Kenya.
