Kenyan Embassy in France

Kenya has its embassy in Paris, the capital; the address on record is 3, rue Freycinet, 75116 Paris. Its phone number and website are on its page.

French citizens do not need a visa for Kenya, but they need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before departure; it covers stays of up to 90 days. The application is made online on the official portal of Kenya, not at the Kenyan embassy.

In return, France has an embassy in Kenya, in Nairobi.
