Kenya has reviewed its free visa travel policy for citizens in over 70 countries around the world, the Caribbean. This policy allows travelers to stay unvisa for up to 180, 90, or 60 days, depending on the country of national rights of the traveler.
This layered system is designed to enhance regional integration, particularly within the East African Community (EAC).

The second tier in over 40 countries benefits from a 90-day visa-free stay. Major African countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana and Zambia are featured alongside Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago. The list also includes major Asian partners such as Singapore and Malaysia, highlighting Kenya's position as a global hub.
