Apart from member states of the East African Community, seven more countries have now been added to the list of those exempted from the required $30 e-travel authorization fee to enter Kenya.
Citizens of South Africa and Ethiopia are among those who will no longer be required to pay the $30 fee required to enter into Kenya. The fee is a prerequisite to be allowed into the East African country via its electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system.
To end 2023, Kenyan President William Ruto announced a new visa-free policy, however, its processes still feel very much like entering the country with a visa. Except for citizens of six East African Partner States — Rwanda, Congo, South Sudan, Tanzania, Burundi and Uganda — all other exemptions from the eTA process are limited to diplomatic persons and bodies. It’s the same for individuals who can apply without paying the $30 fee. The distinctions are listed on the Kenyan Directorate of Immigration Services website.
