[governance] Contact IGF Nairobi

[Balleste, Roy]

Along those lines, the Kenyan embassy is the US is processing visa applications online.  Some materials needed to be mailed into the embassy.  I followed their instructions and the process was easy and fast.  I imagine this is the same at the other worldwide locations.

Dear all:

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. 

 

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.

 

Looking forward to see you all there,

 

Qusai AlShatti
