Kenya has officially removed Nigeria from its Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) requirement list, allowing Nigerian travelers to enter the country without prior electronic approval.
According to etakenya.go.ke, the move is expected to strengthen diplomatic and economic relations between the two nations while promoting seamless regional mobility.
Kenya eTA is a semi-automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to Kenya. An eTA offers permission to travel and is authorised by the Government of the Republic of Kenya. The possession of an eTA is not the final authority to enter the Republic of Kenya. Admissibility will be determined at the point of entry.
The eTA application collects biographic information and answers to eligibility questions from the traveller. eTA applications for Kenya are usually processed in 3 days and there is an urgent processing service, however, it is recommended applications be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to travel to ensure adequate time for processing.
