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 !

I’ve had similar issues to others as… I’ve had similar issues to others as stated below. I’ve had my visa approved but not included on the confirmation email. My partner keeps getting blocked. The website keeps crashing. No answer to emails , messages or phone calls . What are we supposed to do now. Can someone from Evisa. Kenya get in touch please? In contrast the Tanzanian process was easy and efficient.

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.

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!!!
