What’s changed for Eswatini passports

US visa interviews

Since 1 August 2026 the US embassy in Mbabane no longer offers routine visa interviews. Applicants are sent to one of 20 regional hubs, such as Johannesburg, Nairobi, Accra or Lagos: check the embassy’s website for yours.

United Kingdom

Eswatini passport holders need a UK Standard Visitor visa: £135 since 8 April 2026. Read the UK guide.

Kenya

Eswatini passport holders can visit Kenya without a visa or eTA for up to 90 days (Legal Notice 93 of 2025). Kenya’s own eTA site may not show this yet, so check the IATA Travel Centre before you fly.

Sri Lanka

Eswatini passport holders need Sri Lanka’s online ETA (US$50; not on Sri Lanka’s free list).
