Kenya Introduces Visa-Free Entry For All In 2024

In a latest development, visitors from across the world will no longer require a visa to visit Kenya. This initiative will come into effect from January 2024. In a significant move to boost tourism and foster global connections, Kenyan President William Ruto announced on December 12 that visitors from around the world will no longer need a visa to enter the country starting January.

This groundbreaking decision is part of the government’s initiative to streamline the entry process through a newly developed digital platform. This visionary step aligns with Ruto’s long standing advocacy for visa-free travel within the African continent.

Kenya, known for its varied terrains and lively traditions, depends significantly on tourism as a major contributor to its economy. The decision to waive visa requirements is aimed at attracting an increased number of international tourists, offering them the opportunity to explore the breathtaking Indian Ocean coastline and partake in thrilling wildlife safaris.
