In a move to strengthen ties between Kenya and Ghana, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has announced that Ghanaian travelers will no longer need to pay fees for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) when visiting Kenya.
This decision honors the visa-free agreement between the two nations.
An ETA, which is electronically linked to the traveler’s passport, is a crucial document for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling by air. It serves as a pre-screening tool for the destination country, ensuring increased security and streamlined entry upon arrival.
A travel advisory from the ministry, dated June 19, 2024, advises Ghanaians planning to visit Kenya to apply for their complimentary ETA through the official portal before departure to ensure a smooth and cost-free travel experience.
This gesture is expected to encourage more Ghanaians to explore Kenya, fostering greater cultural and economic exchanges between the countries.
