Kenya’s Immigration Department says anyone visiting the country and requires a visa will have to apply online.
“Online Visa application is highly encouraged especially at this period of COVID-19 Pandemic,” Alexander Muteshi, Director General Immigration Department said to those wishing to visit Kenya as tourists or for any other purpose.
On the other hand, in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Postal Corporation of Kenya said those who had applied for passports could get the documents delivered directly to them.
“Through the initiative, passport applicants will not have to visit our offices to pick ready passports,” Muteshi stated.
“This will significantly save time for applicants, reduce congestion in our offices, and help in the fight against the spread of Covid-19.”
The initiative will be fully operational from 01.09.2020, and is currently on the pilot stage.
