Kenya eEvisa: From 3rd world to 4th world No confirmation mails of received application. 5 days later still not debited my account, don’t know if payment even went actually through. Can’t contact anyone to find out. Ridiculous questions (eg, Parents names and status) yep…Dad, dead. Well that was a help! You are the Fawlty Towers of immigration departments. In comparison: New Zealand- done in 48 hours.

Catastrophic - not to be trusted Catastrophic. So far it looks like a scam as I was sent the previous visa I applied for in October instead of the actual one I paid for this current trip. Ok should not have trusted and re-read carefully the attached document instead of trusting blindly. As bad as can be. I arrived without a visa, had to re-apply, wasted time and money upon arrival on Wednesday. Sent a complaint mail earlier today and awaiting feedback.

This should be easy....BUT I have been unable to do what should be a simple process. I've created an account and then it doesn't exist. It took me 3 days to create an account because they would send the OTP 11 hours after I asked and then the screen was timed out. Ugh!!! I finally got up to uploading a picture and accidentally x'd out and poof all is fine and I must create an account again. So frustrating.

Absolutely ridiculous This is the worst service I've ever dealt with! Taken me days to do this with stupid pjeg format! I wanted to go visit family and have a holiday ! I will not be going! Kenya you are going to lose tourism though this ridiculous system!! No one at the embassy to help and no one to speak to over the phone as they don't answer! Lost over 2000 in tickets and ruined my Christmas holiday! Horrendous!!!

System looks simple, but does not work System looks simple, but you get stuck on the selfie section: I got a selfie, select the photo to use, but the system does not allow you to move beyond that. The 'take a selfie' trigger keeps showing up as an error.
