Referred visa Am a Somali citizen who lives in UK .I applied for a Evisa online paid the 10 fees since it’s a referred visa.I called to ask for update since it’s 3 weeks past and referred visa take 14 days to be approved or rejected.they told me to apply for another one and am wondering why should I pay for a second fee and my time is wasted.they never reply to emails.

Total 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.

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.

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!!!

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.
