1. Step 1: Visit the Kenyan government’s eCitizen website. 

2. Step 2: Select ‘eVisa Application’ in the Select Service tab.

My Kenya e-visa status shows "rejected." What should I do?

If your Kenya visa application status shows “rejected,” understand and address the reasons for rejection before reapplying. Some of the common Kenya visa rejection reasons include:

• Incomplete or inaccurate application: Missing or mismatching information on your visa application can often lead to visa rejection.

• Invalid passport: Having a passport with a validity of less than six months (at least) from the arrival date in Kenya. 

• Incorrect photograph: Submitting photos that do not meet the visa photo requirements (e.g., must be clear, unedited, and not older than 6 months) can cause issues.
