The Government has introduced new immigration rules exempting certain categories of travelers from the requirement to obtain an electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before entering the country.
Among those exempted are citizens of the East African Community (EAC), who will now be allowed to enter Kenya visa-free for a period not exceeding 180 days.
They include nationals of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The changes, which took effect on May 30, are part of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration (Amendment) Regulations, 2025, published under Legal Notice No 93.
