Kenya has abolished fees to apply for its new Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for travellers from seven countries, including the key source market of South Africa.
The eTA came into effect at the start of 2024, ostensibly as a part of President William Rutos promise of providing visa-free entry to travellers from all countries globally. The eTA has been met with mixed reaction from the tourism industry particularly travellers from previously visa-exempt countries such as South Africa, who are now required to apply for the eTA and were paying a US$34 processing fee.
