Kenya has taken a new course in tourism by abolishing visa restrictions for tourists from January 2024. The new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) program has become an alternative to the visa process, simplifying entry into the country.

President William Ruto has identified the move as a strategic step towards globalization and the promotion of socio-economic development through the opening of borders. Tourists now only need to obtain an ETA permit to enter Kenya by completing an online form and paying a fee of $30. The procedure can be completed 3 days before the trip or even later.

The new program allows you to stay in Kenya for up to 90 days, after which you can leave and get a new permit. The main goal of this initiative is to make travel to Kenya more accessible and convenient, providing the opportunity to obtain all the necessary documents online without intermediaries and visits to embassies.
