The 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.

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.

POOR SERVICES AND NO XUSTOMER CARE I am frustrated with this system, I applied a month ago and I was asked to pay 11$ to verify the documents submitted, before paying the actual visa fee but since then nothing seems to move and nobody picks up when I call, the numbers on the webpage are all fake. VERY FRUSTRATING AND TIME WASTING

Terrible e-visa system lead me to lose… Terrible e-visa system lead me to lose my flight. Calls to London office yielded nothing, in the end I lost funds for my airline ticket. I should have been at Mombasa enjoying my holiday now. Ridiculous..Thankfully, Morocco does not ask for visa from British people, so I am instead heading there tomorrow!!

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.
