Kenya scrapped visas for 155 countries as it migrated to an Electronic Traveller Authorisation (ETA) system at the beginning of 2024. But you have to apply for the ETA before travel – even if you didn't need a visa to enter Kenya before. Travel visas, which cost the equivalent of just under R1 000, were dropped on 1 January. Posting on X, One Jones Ntaukira, said the ETA system was "hectic" and an inconvenience. Now Kenya has "removed visas" for everyone visiting Kenya, but now everyone has to pay a $30 travel authorisation fee 72 hours before travel.
