Kenyans to travel to US with old passport after embassy U-turn on directiveThe US Embassy in Nairobi has reversed its earlier decision to ban visa applications by Kenyans without digital passport. “Visa applicants may apply for a US visa with a non-digital Kenyan passport. We will place a US visa in a non-digital passport until further notice. The embassy had earlier said it will no longer issue visas to Kenyans who don't have the new e-passports. In December 2018, the Deputy President (DP) William Ruto said the Government had pushed back plans to phase out old passports in favour of new travel documents.
