Kenyans Granted Visa-Free Access to Senegal!
According to the announcement made by Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua, Kenyan citizens will not be required to seek a visa to enter or transit through Senegal.
A bilateral meeting between President William Ruto and the leader of the West African state, Macky Sall, took place on Sunday, and it was during this meeting that the decision was made.
Following Kenya’s earlier decision to lift visa restrictions to holders of Senegalese passports, Senegal has now reciprocated by providing free visa entry to holders of Kenyan passports, Kenya’s foreign minister said in a tweet on Monday.
