Kenyans are set to travel to Senegal visa-free after the Country granted Kenya free visa entry following a meeting between President William Ruto and President Macky Sall.

It was noted during the meeting that this was in retaliation for Kenya's earlier decision to remove visa requirements for those with Senegalese passports.

In a statement by the Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Cabinet Secretary, Alfred Mutua stated that Senegal has now reciprocated by providing free visa entry to Kenyan passport holders.


“This is a great step towards enhancing regional integration and free movement of Africans within Africa,” read part of the statement.

It is expected that this will grow trade between the two countries and open up tourism and education opportunities for citizens of both Nations.
