GBAbsolutely 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!!!

GBTotal bust 3 years in a row Total bust 3 years in a row. As of 1/1/2021, there isn't even a choice - you must have an eVisa prior to boarding. The 10 page application ranges from absurd to torturous. Be prepared to provide continent, country, and full 'land address' as separate fields, names of your spouse's parents, even if deceased, etc. On one page you state that you are staying with friends and relatives and provide their address, only to be required to attach hotel booking proof on the next. Attachments must be .jpg under 250kB in size so they need to be scaled, and be prepared that .PDFs of flight itineraries will have to be turned into .jpgs, no easy feat unless you have Acrobat loaded. The grand finally is the payment process that usually hangs up because of security concerns by my CC or payment receipt issues on the Kenyan side once security hurdles are overcome. The cherry on top of this layercake is that the eVisa may not be generated on time or at all. Two times out of 3 had to go through this mess again upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta after a gruelling flight. They really must not want me in their country. Others in the passport control line mirrored my sentiments, so at least I know my experience isn't isolated.

GBThe visa we'd completed here said not completed at all! We deliberately arranged our visas in advance, specifically for myself, as my new wife's couldn't be done till after our wedding day, 16th July. We reached Kenya after a long day's travelling, only to find there was no record of mine, although I'd already paid for it- really not impressed. I expect a full refund of the money paid.

GBWe did not need to buy this service The service took 3 days regardless of how much I paid for 1-day turnaround. As it turns out Kenya has on-site visas for less than $60 US. The international agent laughed at me for buying these visas. The information was listed in his computer, so the application was complete; but I did not know it was complete until I was at the border.
