In a move aimed at strengthening the ties between Kenya and Ghana, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has announced that Ghanaian travellers will no longer be required to pay fees for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) when visiting Kenya.
This decision honours the visa-free agreement that exists between the two nations.
An ETA is an essential document for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling by air, which is electronically linked to the traveller's passport.
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, ensuring 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.
