East Africa Visa Changes

Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda have taken steps to ensure that a common tourist visa among the three countries will be reality by January 2014, as will unrestricted travel by using national identity cards. The decision was finalised without their two other EAC members, Tanzania and Burundi.
Rwanda will implement a Single Customs Territory (SCT) with Uganda and Kenya where all customs on incoming goods to any of the three countries will be handled once at the port of entry, Mombasa.
It was agreed to charge 100 USD per tourist intending to visit the three countries for up to 90 days in any of the three countries. It would be paid at the point of entry into any of the three countries.
The 100 USD will be applied to foreigners from outside the three countries who are intending to tour more than one country. For tourists only interested in visiting Rwanda only, the fee will remain at 50 USD for Uganda and Kenya, 30 USD for Rwanda.
Each of the three countries will claim $30 from the Single Visa fees while the balance of $10 will be set aside for technical operations.
On the absence of Burundi and Tanzania it was said that these two countries were not and are not excluded. They can decide to join whenever they would find the decision significant for them.
