Kenya introduces mandatory online visa applications

Kenya Airways has announced that from July 2 2015, the government of Kenya introduced electronic visa applications.

As the introduction of this visa process was only announced a few days ago, there is a two-month grace period whereby visas can still be purchased on arrival.

This grace period expires on 31 August 2015. Effective September 1 2015, you will be denied boarding of your flight to Kenya or denied entry to Kenya if you do not have your printed copy of your e-visa with you.

Tourists wishing to visit Kenya need visit the electronic visa page at www.ecitizen.go.ke and follow the instructions.
