Kenyans with long-term Schengen visas will be allowed to enter European Union countries as the block prepares to reopen its external borders. The exception comes after EU announced that only travelers from 15 countries have been cleared to travel to the 31 EU member countries, which began reopening their borders on Wednesday. Kenya is not among the 15 countries that include the UK, Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, and Morocco. On Friday, EU Ambassador to Kenya Simon Mordue said some Kenyans will be able to travel to Europe despite the ban. This includes Kenyans who are long-term residents in the EU or who hold national long-term visas, as well as their respective family members,” Mordue stated.
