dont waste you time with the evisa tried visiting the country, and find out I needed a visa, I tried going through process and find it obnoxious at best, the amount of unnecessary information request is laughable. I will never step foot on this country while the requirement for entering stay as they are.

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.

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.

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.

Incompetence No customer service for visas nobody at the embassy answers the phone !!!! ! My mother lost her holiday ticket due to Kenyan embassy incompetence ! They changes the visa rules and no customer service for the elderly that don’t have computer skills . Go on holiday some other place !
