Kenya’s President Ruto’s Visa-Free Entry Plan Hits Snags” Kenya’s President William Ruto announced last year that the country would allow African visitors to enter without visas, which was cheered by many.
However, the new rules have surprised some travelers, like Adio from Zimbabwe, who faced unexpected paperwork and costs when trying to enter Kenya.
Despite the initial excitement, travelers now need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for $30 each time they enter, causing inconvenience and confusion.
While the government cites security reasons for the change, critics argue it could hinder tourism and trade.
President Ruto’s vision of seamless travel in Africa faces challenges, highlighting the complexities of implementing visa policies.
