During the 2024 Magical Kenya Travel Expo on October 2, President William Ruto announced exciting new initiatives aimed at enhancing the country's appeal to tourists. The introduction of the Transit and Long Connection Travelers' Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) will allow passengers with layovers to leave the airport and explore Nairobi and other cities. Additionally, a Digital Nomad work permit has been launched, enabling foreign remote workers to live and work in Kenya. Further details regarding the implementation dates for these initiatives will be provided soon.
