The Immigration department has announced a shift to the e-visa effective January 1, 2021. Passengers from countries requiring a visa to enter Kenya are expected to have the document before boarding a plane. "The E-visa can be obtained through www.evisa.go.ke," Deputy Director of Immigration services Alicent Odipo said on Tuesday. Electronic Visa (E-Visa) services are becoming the preferred mode of seeking travel approval by the modern traveller, industry trends indicate, as year-on-year overseas travellers continue to grow. According to VFS Global (Visa Facilitation Services Global), breakthroughs in technology coupled with improved internet connectivity and speed are allowing ‘armchair booking’ of visas, flight and hotels at the click of a button.
