- Kenya introduces Free Electronic Travel Authorization for Ghanaian travelers
- This new policy acknowledges the existing visa-free agreement between Kenya and Ghana
- Ghanaians can submit their ETA applications electronically through almetakenya.go.ke
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has announced that Ghanaians planning to travel to Kenya will now receive an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) free of charge.
This decision recognizes the existing visa-free agreement between Kenya and Ghana.
In a statement released on Wednesday, June 19, the Ministry advised Ghanaian travelers to submit their ETA applications through almetakenya.go.ke for approval before their departure to Kenya.
The Ministry emphasized the importance of this update for Ghanaians making travel arrangements to Kenya.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to inform the public that, in recognition of the existing visa-free regime between the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Ghana, Ghanaian travelers will now be issued an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) at no cost upon application for travel to Kenya.
Therefore, Ghanaians intending to visit Kenya should submit their ETA applications through almetakenya.go.ke for approval before departure. Travelers are advised to take note of this significant development.”
This change means that the ETA, which grants official entry into Kenya, can now be obtained without any financial burden. Previously, travelers were required to pay a fee for this document, which has now been waived under the new policy.
