Wow!! The information on this process has not been made clear by the Government of Kenya. We came into Kenya in December 2023 from Atlanta and obtained Single Entry Visas. Then in January we got bored and decided to go to Zanzibar for two weeks, and had to get VISAs for that. We then obtained ETAs in Tanzania to enter Kenya as we had a week before returning to ATL. Arriving at JKIA on Precision Air from Zanzibar, immigration told us that we did not need the ETAs, as we already had Single Entry VISAs to Kenya from December, so we wasted money on that. This grey area of the law is very confusing for many travelers. A simple FAQs on the website can clarify many of these queries, including the one you encountered. Thanks for the video. Enjoy!!
As a Ugandan you should have an East African passport and a British passport. I have an East African blue passport and an American passport. I’m American with a Kenyan wife living in San Diego California.
Mr. Tyme London! It is nice to see you again 👍👍👍 Why did you disappear for so long? I enjoy watching your Kenya and Uganda videos. I do not like India videos. 👍👍👍
Kenya abolished visa for all nationalities of the world and in its place introduced eTA (electronic Travel Authorisation) which takes up to 3 days to be approved. It costs about 30 dollars. EAC countries are exempt from eTA but I've heard other countries are exempted as well. It is a new system and I guess these are the teething problems of any new system. I'm curious how you got a visa for 50 dollars though? Was it a bribe or they've decided to run a parallel visa system alongside eTA until all is sorted out and everyone is aware of the new system? Anyway, welcome back @tymelondon looks like you enjoy Nairobi/Kenya a lot.
i am glad the Kenyan officials were accommodating and allowed you to apply right there and then. Other countries do deport you and return to your home country and apply from an Embassy there. i thank the Kenyan government for being kind and helping foreigners out. Kenyans are always kind and friendly people. They care and understand how people feel. No ego. Other African countries are on a power trip, and they will purposely harass and make problems for you so that they feel important!! I hope the Kenyan people never change being good kind people. I have been watching the French guy cycling through Kenya and all the wonderful Kenyans that have welcomed him into their country and more importantly helped him when he was in an accident or when he needed help. The international community is watching, and it will bring other travelers to Kenya, and the much needed revenue.
There is always misinformation about everything in Kenya.This is the only country I know of that things always changes overnight without any proper information either from the embassy or the government itself. Last time I heard that Kenya is a visa free country all of sudden,there is now issues with that as well a-lots of misinformation everyone is giving their different information especially those in charge (authority).😊
That's because we have a clown for a president who makes impulsive declarations thinking that they make him sound "intelligent and progressive" but really haven't been thought out at all.
That's hypocrisy I mean how can thy say its only valid when u land to Kenya first?That's unfair to their sister countries thus frustrating to travelers who thought it's "EAC VISA"
Thanks for sharing bruv. There is one thing I have never understood. If I pay for the East African Visa in Europe and fly to Rwanda, am I allowed to stay there for 90 days without visiting the other countries,? sort of to use it as an extension visa instead of the 30 days they're giving on arrival. Last time I was in Kenya in 2023, my visa indicated 90 days on the E-visa portal, but it was allegedly just stamped for one month upon arrival? something I didnt even think about, and ended up overstaying for over 30 days and was almost put in prison. Why are these African countries making things complicated with zero oversight, it's not like we are refugees trying to run away from Europe and staying illegal in Kenya Rwanda or anywhere else in Africa. Backwards!
When you land at the airport, let the people at immigration aware they you intend to stay the whole duration of your visa. You are entitled to 3 months with the East African Visa 💯
Why pay 50 dollars for a visa when Kenya has announced a visa free entry. What I understand is that one needs only to apply for Entry clearance which costs only 30 dollars. Very confusing indeed. Can someone from the government side clarify this?
@beemoboppins the issue of tribalism is rife in Kenya. Change is happening super duper slow, but at least it's happening. All it takes is for the scales to fall off the people's eyes and for them to wake up to the games the elitists play. My generation is really different from the older ones. All will be well soon.
You are actually accusing other people for what you are, a tribalist! Kenya has abolished visas for everyone in the world, Rwanda has abolished visas for all Africans, what has Uganda done? President Ruto has engaged relentlessly about abolishing visas for Africans and he laid the groundwork before he abolished it for everyone! As EAC countries we don't even need eTA to travel within EAC. Search your soul, you are the problem.
@@martinkobimbo8090You are such a tribalist and you should be ashamed of yourself. You think the visa policy was informed by tribalism or foreign policy? Do you know understand why visas were abolished for all nationalities? Fikiria wacha ukabila na siasa duni.
It's not like that! Coz East Africa Is comprised of; Uganda Kenya Tanzania Rwanda Burundi Somalia Democratic Republic Of Congo Ethiopia South Sudan. Of the following countries i.e Uganda, Kenya,Rwanda, Democratic Republic Of Congo n South Sudan, there's no need of VISA application for any African but for other countries U have to pay.

Balls 😮.. its visa free.. you can do entry visa .. or none .. from feb 1st kenya uk citizen is free .
Let’s hope that’s true.
What does Kenya visa-free even mean?
Nice apartment. what is the name of the apartment you are staying. In Nairobi and looking for a nice place to stay? If you don't mind saying.
I made a full video about the apartment, I’ll post it soon ✅
I thought Pluto said No visa required anymore
Are they still asking for the COVID card?
No they don’t ask for C-19 certificates anymore, but have your Yellow Fever Booklet on deck ✅
Hey, good job, say hi to bitutu roselyn
Thanks for this important information!!
I thought the president said from January will be visa free
Not for everyone.
@@tymelondon It is visa free for everyone...you just need to pay For ETA
Good information brother man just telling it like it is.
I thought the president announced that kenya is a free visa entry

You can stay in the country for the duration of your visa. The East African Visa lasts for 3 months.

What has happened to visa free entry into Kenya loudly announced? You mean it is not applicable?? Surprised.
Coz anatumia passport ya u.k
Even Burundi is the same , the EA visa doesnt apply anymore
Are you back in kenya or this is an old videos?
Hpy ur back in Kenya
Thank you.

Was he using a U.K passport or a Ugandan passport? That is the question!
Welcome back to Kenya
Welcome back
Tyme is back!
I thought the president Ruto said kenya is visa free country
Lying is his game. You didn't know til now?
As a Kenyan that is so weird. I wonder why.
Kenya are in East Africa with names only not in reality they don't have that love of brother hood anyway greetings to the luos brothers in kenya
You have to understand that the tribes that have been in power are like that. The rest of us value brotherhood.
