Kenya Eases Visa Rules for African Nations, Except Somalia, Libya
The Kenyan government has announced that Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) and visa requirements will be removed for all African nationals, except those from Somalia and Libya, citing security concerns. The move aims to promote regional integration and tourism growth across Africa.
African visitors will now have a two-month stay, while East African Community (EAC) nationals will retain their six-month stay under established free movement protocols.
The Department of Immigration will introduce a new expedited processing option allowing travelers to receive approval instantly, with processing time capped at 72 hours, depending on operational capacity.
