Accra, 19th June 2024 – In a recent development aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties and facilitating travel between Ghana and Kenya, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of Ghana has announced a significant change in travel protocols. Effective immediately, Ghanaian travellers will no longer be required to pay fees for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) when entering Kenya. This announcement is in recognition of the existing visa-free regime agreement between the two countries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration issued a statement confirming that Ghanaian nationals will be granted an ETA free of charge upon application for travel to Kenya. This move is expected to simplify the travel process for Ghanaians, promoting ease of movement and enhancing bilateral relations between the two nations.
Ghanaians planning to travel to Kenya are advised to submit their ETA applications through the official website www.etakenya.go.ke for approval prior to their departure. The Ministry emphasized the importance of adhering to this new procedure to ensure a smooth travel experience.
This policy change reflects the ongoing commitment of both Ghana and Kenya to foster closer ties and encourage people-to-people connections. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration encourages the travelling public to take note of this development and prepare accordingly for their journeys to Kenya.
For more information, travellers are advised to visit the official website or contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration directly.
