🇰🇪 Kenya visa requirements for Indonesian citizens
Indonesian citizens need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Kenya — a quick online approval, not a full visa.
Entry rules for Indonesia passport holders
Kenya requires Indonesian visitors to register online for an electronic travel authorization before departure. An eTA is lighter than a visa — approval is usually issued within minutes to hours — but airlines will deny boarding without it, so complete it before heading to the airport.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Kenya immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares
The Indonesian passport ranks #113 worldwide, opening 80 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (45 visa-free, 31 with a visa on arrival and 4 with an eTA). Kenya is one of them.
In the other direction, Kenyan citizens traveling to Indonesia face a different rule: visa on arrival.
Across Eastern Africa as a whole, 12 of 16 destinations are open to Indonesian travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
