As Africa’s visa restrictions fall, what will it mean for Africans? | The Take
Visa-free travel is on the rise in Africa, with Malawi the latest country to ease restrictions. Earlier this year, Kenya took an even bigger step, going visa-free for all visitors. The move left Kenyans asking if this will lead to more accessible travel. Travel restrictions have been labeled by some as a “new apartheid” rooted in racism. But if…

Its always scam!…ETA costs 30$/entry…Single entry is the only option….Say, i take a day trip to Dar es Salam, TZ or Kamapala, UG i still have to reapply and pay another 30$ every re-entry…Its a BIG NO…..So, i had to cancels my Kenya travels and instead went to Rwanda…Real Visa and FREE Huge welcome, $ dollar paid to immigration….but spent around 1700$ for my 6 days stay to well deserving Rwandan communities and businesses who had a very welcoming attitude to visitors…I highly recommend Rwanda.
loL No different still have to send your details 48 hours before and pay …. What's the difference? Why cant they just remove the visa and 50$ fees like most countries.
This is wonderful
Good afternoon! Thank you sincerely for the video! I hope to see new videos coming out soon 🙂
This electronic authorization is more burdensome than the visa free travel some countries enjoyed, but much easier for those who used to have to apply for a visa
Visa is not apartheid, it's a form of control otherwise there is no order. The world needs order.
Big mistake, you will see it in a few years.
They need that US dollar 😂 that’s the catch … they need tourism
I love Africa continent even though I've never been. All African countries must unite Africa will rule the world again🌍❤️🖤💚✊🏽
The left in the west has weaponized the free movement of people from less developed countries by rapiibly pursuing really crazy immigration policies which lets in large numbers of immigrants far in excess of the host countries abilties to economically and socially integrate them. So you end up with balkanized communities lacking any social cohesion, strained social services, backlash against anyone appearing foreign, including those who integrated. This is by design. The liberals dont do this because they are the champions of the down troddened. They seek the overthrow of the existing order.
If you are a 3rd world country you shouldn't have visa restrictions😅I mean, its not like you are going to have immigrants swimming to your shores like in Europe. Open up the continent.

It's simple. Leave Africa borderless amongst all African countries, and ensure all foreign visa agreements between African countries and all non-African countries are reviewed to ensure reciprocities. Finally, let's secure our borders to enhance the safe transportation of goods and services.
The issue isn't diseases, the issue is the Western world trying to see what they're up to. They don't want these nations building any type of equity. I will tell the rest of the world, mind your business.
The westerners are not happy that the Africans are doing something about their borders and flow of movements within the continent. Very sad!
They want free movement of goods but not people.
I am watching from st Elizabeth Jamaica, here in the Caribbean we Jamacian can travel any where in Caribbean without visa , especially the English speaking countries in Caribbean, it so sad to see how its hard for African traveling inside Africa without visa
Is it visa free for Jamacian traveling to Kenya?
Thank you so much Al Jazeera English for showing the whole world what this Imperialist white supremacy are doing to the African people. How cruel you can be after saying the continuation is poor yet still you keep coming there for visa free and loot natural resources through the puppet regimes!
Smoke and mirrors nothing has changed in reality .
Our 400 years was up in America 2019 yall better pay attention to whats going on,they giving us a chnce to "Get Out" 😳😳😳😳
It's not visa free you pay for ETA which as a Zimbabwean with previous government you did not pay anything. Its quite deceptive of Kenya to say Visa free. I lost money by changing a flight because they said I needed a visa before flying in
If travel to Kenya expect long lines, late night, flights, it takes for every to catch a flight
Welcome to Kenya feel at home and live your life nobody cares what colour you're or religion
one love Africa untied
No visa is a joke. You still have to fill in an application/registration – so you can be refused. The fee is 35 Dollars instead of 50 before. The visa you could renew for free for another 3 month. Nowadays you have to leave the country and apply for new (visa). What has changed is the name and some bugs in the software were solved.
All African countries should follow suit as this visa free will develop their economies
Thnks Aljezira for this amazing interview..Kenya leading the way of Africanism
Before your just need to come and get visa at the airport with $50 now you pay $40 and you might get rejected and loose the money.
This Will have a harsh reality on Security in the Country Bad Bad Bad Move
But for a kenyan to visit america, europe or australia…you have to provide over 37 documents including title deeds, bank statements, business registrations, natioanal ID cards for all your sibling, marriage cert etc, then you have to beg and cry at the embassy and still you get denied the visa.I wish the same lift could be extended to kenyan residents to enjoy the same while visiting other countries.
The days of when traveling to these places, they wanted fresh us dollars in cash, visa is such a horrible system
Well, Kenya is certainly a country I will look to visit in the very near future! Perhaps even this summer when I visit East Africa.
a visa by any other name is….a visa
Visa free for everyone that's like opening your house and inviting everyone in it n serial killers. I hope they will do background checks.
Kenya is an amazing country
Permit me I’ve gone through many comments and am seeing people talking of visas. The bill is for Africans not everyone to enter Kenya visa free. Off course while Africans will be allowed to travel to Kenya visa free there’s certainly gonna be other measures foreigners will have to follow to get in
Kenya it’s still not Visa free you have to fill the application and after you have to pay $30 so they reduce amount from $51-$30
what i wanna know is why African countries are making strides to open up their borders while the West are making more restrictions to close up their borders?
Why should we make these efforts? Just for money? What about dignity and fairness?
Africa is too poor to have visa and multiple currencies
Welcome to Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
You know iam a Kenyan ,if 🐦 birds can fly freely from country to country, Kenya is visa free,we only have headache applying the visas to USA and Europ ,,maybe they fear African s
Yet Kenyans can't travel freely even within the continent itself.
This is great for Kenya and all of Africa. We need to remove all restrictions and make it all visa free travel. It’s a great way to develop Africa. There were no visa travel before 1884. Why should there be any now?
however for us Kenyans to get a passport is a hustle, can even take years.
I never heard jazeera talking about Qatar,any news?
Kenya is not visa free, it’s an annoying ETA visa that was poorly designed. They’ve violated all rules of reciprocity with country that were previously ETA visa free. Absolute nonsense.
This is a very good start for the county to hopefully bring in more tourism to uplift the Economy, as the local Kenyans desperately need a tourist revenue boost. Hopefully, the same is for all the African countries to eliminate visa requirements for Africans as a whole. As well, hope the local Kenya Passport renewal/new issuance issue is solved in Kenya, as one reads in the local reports.
