The government of Kenya announced all foreign nationals may enter Kenya visa-free as of Jan. 1.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The new eTA application costs $30. Airline passengers are no longer required to fill out paper forms on the plane or upon arrival; however, travelers will not be allowed to board without a valid eTA and must obtain a new authorization online prior to travel. Citizens of Kenya or an East African community partner state are not required to apply. Travelers can submit their applications via the Republic of Kenya official government website. The new application process takes around three business days to complete, but travelers are encouraged to apply as early as possible prior to their arrival.
BAL Analysis: The Kenyan government is offering visa-free entry and creating a streamlined entry system to facilitate business travel and increase tourism. By simplifying and expediting the entry process and offering visa-free travel for all international travelers, the government hopes to welcome additional business interests and boost tourism.
