1. No visa required for several Commonwealth citizens. Check <a href="http://igf.or.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72" target="_blank">http://igf.or.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72</a> to see which nations qualify. If you are a Commonwealth nation, don't just line up for the visa and pay blindly like I saw many people doing this evening. When you reach to the Immigration Officer, he/she has a list of countries which qualify and will confirm whether you need the visa or not. Be informed. <div>
<br></div><div>2. Get local currency. Barclays ATM just before exiting accepts all Maestro, Cirrus, Plus, Electron Debit Cards as well as Visa and Mastercard.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Cheap and tasty food (under 5000) open late in town by a strip which has Chicken Inn, Pizza Inn and Galito's. </div>
<div><br></div><div>4. If you still have can, call or email your Hotel to arrange car pickup for you ... less hassle for about the same price and safe. These private drivers are tourist-friendly give you a comfortable ride also advise you what to do and not to do. </div>
<div><br></div><div>5. Register your arrival at the IGF desk just after Baggage Claim. This will assist with shuttle service planning for those who are staying in the city centre.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div>

Hello,<div><br></div><div>Just arrived as well.</div><div>There was no problem in getting the visa. Most of the foreigners seem to do it. </div><div>Just make sure you bring new US dollars (the ones with large faces) to pay for the visa. You also cannot exchange older US dollars anywhere at the airport.</div>

The lady from the IGF desk told me I should pay 300 to the city center. but we could not find any taxi (official or not) that would take us for less than 1.200. Either the lady is misinformed or they are all agreeing prices between them.</div>
