The Kenya High Commission in India is the official diplomatic representation of the Government of Kenya in India. Based in New Delhi, it promotes relations between the two countries and provides consular assistance to Kenyan citizens and relevant information for Indian travelers.

Indian citizens planning to visit Kenya can also contact the High Commission for guidance on immigration and entry requirements. However, Kenya currently uses the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system for most eligible international visitors rather than the former Kenya eVisa.
