Kenya's President William Ruto stated (12-Dec-2023) "Kenya will be a visa free country" from Jan-2024. Mr Ruto said: "It shall no longer be necessary for any person from any corner of the globe to carry the burden of applying for a visa to come to Kenya". He added: "The Government has abolished the requirement of visas for all our visitors. To implement this new policy, we have developed a digital platform to ensure that all travellers to Kenya are identified in advance on an electronic platform. All travellers will obtain electronic travel authorisation". [more - original PR]
