Foreign Visitors to Kenya Will not be Required to have a Visa Beginning January 2024

The government has adopted a digital platform to ensure that all travellers to the country are identified in advance through an electronic platform. An electronic travel authorization will be granted to foreign nationals visiting Kenya, President William Ruto said, adding that a visa-free regime aligns with his administration’s quest to boost the growth of tourism and borderless commerce. Kenya had earlier waived visa requirements for citizens from Indonesia, Senegal, and Congo, anchored on bilateral agreements to enhance the movement of tourists, investors, and skilled personnel.
