According to the DR Congo’s Directorate General of Migration, the decision took effect on September 1, 2023, the same day Kenya eliminated its visa restrictions for Congolese.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo relaxed visa restrictions for Kenyans on Wednesday, matching Nairobi’s gesture five days earlier.
According to the DRC, this might also provide a chance to expand commerce with Kenya, via which it imports products to the country’s eastern areas. With a land area of 2.4 million square kilometers and a population of 100 million, Kenya sees the DRC as a prospective market for its banking industry and other industries such as transportation.
