God bless you for this info

Lina555:
Good info. Thanks a lot! I was going to visit Kenya before the lockdown. I applied for evisa (here a service on https://evisa.express/en/kenya helped me that much), and as it took only three days to get it, I received it. So, I'm looking forward to visiting this country when the quarantine measures are weakened. I'll keep your post in mind for future.

is bank statement part of their requirements?

Has anyone traveled to Kenya recently..

Since the Govt is yet to lift the Ban on Dubai trip, how far with Kenya ?
