South Africa has introduced a new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system to modernise visa processing, but it does not change entry requirements for Kenyan travellers. Kenyans already enjoy visa-free entry for stays of up to 90 days under the 2023 bilateral agreement and do not need an ETA. The new digital system will initially apply to selected visa-required nationalities, offering faster online applications and improved border security. Kenyan travellers should continue meeting normal passport and immigration requirements when visiting South Africa.
