To make the entry process easier, Kenya is introducing a digital platform for electronic travel authorisation, which will eliminate the need for visa applications.

Notably, the Kenyan government previously lifted visa restrictions for citizens of other African Union (AU) member states, aligning with the AU’s initiative to promote visa-free travel across the continent.
