Can I travel to Kenya with an Ecowas passport?

No, you cannot travel to Kenya solely with an ECOWAS passport for tourism or business purposes. Here are some reasons you can’t travel to Kenya with an ECOWAS passport:

ECOWAS Passport Purpose: The ECOWAS passport allows for unrestricted mobility among ECOWAS member states. While it facilitates travel between these nations, it does not ensure entrance into other regions, such as East Africa, where Kenya is located.
Kenya's Entry Requirements: Most travelers to Kenya must have a valid national passport (not a regional passport like ECOWAS) and an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), which may be obtained online before their journey.

Here's what you'll need to travel to Kenya:

Valid National Passport: You'll need your passport issued by your home country, not the ECOWAS passport.
Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA): While tourists from these visa-free nations can enter Kenya without a visa, they must get an ETA before their journey, as obtaining a visa on arrival is difficult. Ecowas passport holders can apply for a Kenya ETA online in 3 simple steps. To ensure a smooth experience, submitting your application at least 1 week before your intended travel dates is recommended.
