<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Dear all:</div><div>I would strongly recommend that all of our colleagues would acquire the entry visa to Kenya from Kenyan Embassies and Consulates prior to the arrival to Nairobi. I was told that all of them were instructed to facilitate the visa process for IGF participants. </div><div><br></div><div>Myself I acquired the Visa and the embassy staff were so helpful and friendly. The Visa application is only one page, they require a copy of the passport and two photos. It is two weeks to Nairobi and this is a plenty of time for a Visa.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to see you all there,</div><div><br></div><div>Qusai AlShatti</div><div><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br>On Sep 9, 2011, at 15:09, Brice Abba <<a href="mailto:briceabba@hotmail.com">briceabba@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">
