Photos for Kenya Visa?
 
Hello,
Just downloaded the visa application for Kenya: I was planning to just do this on arrival in Nairobi. Do I really need passport photos for this?...didn't notice this in the posts on getting a visa at the airport. If so, one more thing on the checklist...

No photo needed. Just the form and $.

You only need photos and the complete application form if you are pre-arranging your visas before you travel. If you get your visa upon arrival you need neither.

Tashak:

When you get your visa at JKIA airport you do not need photos. However, it is wise to take two passport photos with you and keep them separate from all other papers/money just in case your passport is lost or stolen.

Be sure to have the application filled out and signed and in your hand with your $50.00 as you deplane and rush to the visa desk. Usually you don't have to wait very long. However once I was in a long line taking 15 minutes. As soon as this is accomplished you go directly to the luggage carousel down-stairs.

Thanks for the logistical advice Jan...I'll try to find those old spare photos before the trip.
