With immediate effect (Monday July 26, 2021), the Republic of Kenya has waived the requirement of obtaining a visa to enter Kenya for Pasport holders of Republic of South Sudan.
Premised on the principle of reciprocity, the Republic of South Sudan has also waived visa requirements for Kenyans wishing to visit their country.
Expatriates
The next step, Kamau said, will be to sign a labour agreement which will give specified privileges for expatriates. The waiver of the visa fees, nonetheless, gives an opportunity for Kenyans to seek work in South Sudan as is provided for under the Common Market Protocol.
East African Community (EAC)
South Sudan joined the EAC in 2016, but has lagged behind in adopting crucial protocols of the Community including the Customs Union and the Common Market Protocol. These protocols allow for harmonisation of levies, exemption of certain taxes on produces of the region and visa-less movement in the region.
The EAC includes Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda. The Democratic Republic of Congo has applied to join and a decision is expected before end of August on whether it will become the seventh member.
