Africa, known for its magnificent landscapes and rich cultural diversity, is increasingly becoming a magnet for travellers seeking adventure and identity. In 2024, in a digital age where simplicity and speed are crucial for travellers, several African countries have taken a step towards innovation by introducing electronic visas (e-Visas).

In contrast, other countries, such as Kenya, no longer require a traditional visa but instead mandate that all visitors apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) prior to arrival. These destinations, which combine natural and historical riches with modern administrative procedures, open the door to African adventure without the typical complexities associated with consular formalities.

Whether you are drawn to the majestic dunes of the Sahara, the dense forests of the Congo Basin or the perfect beaches of the Indian Ocean, African destinations that will introduce digital entry regulations in 2024 promise a more comfortable and exciting journey. Explore African destinations where entry is now just a few clicks away, offering unforgettable and affordable travel experiences.

Already 29 African countries have switched to electronic visas or ETAs, with more than half of them offering online visas or electronic entry permits to their foreign visitors:

In addition, several African countries are currently working on their e-visa systems. Algeria, Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo and Chad are expected to launch their e-visas in the near future.

In addition, the Democratic Republic of Congo is developing a new e-visa and tourism platform for its foreign visitors, and Tunisia also plans to switch to e-visas in 2024.
