Kenya is working towards exempting Africans from 52 countries from the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system introduced last year.
eTA system was introduced on January 1, 2024, and mandates all travellers, including infants and children, to obtain an approved eTA before commencing their journey to Kenya.
The eTA is charged at 30 USD (about Ksh3,880 in the current exchange rates) is valid for a single entry and allows a stay of up to 90 days in Kenya.
According to a Cabinet dispatch released on Tuesday, January 21, the government is considering making it free for Africans to travel to Kenya after complaints emerged over the use of the eTA system.
