They took away his passport until he paid up a couple of hundred dollars in order to enter Liberia.
That's the positive in Africa. It's called corruption.
You can buy any paper and any stamp. I was offered from captains licence or genuine IDs. You name it. The problem now are the EVisa. The Airlines don't let you board without one. You probably get still VoA in Entebbe. But. See above.

Posts: 321Jitenge Traveler Surveillance QR Code
Another joke is the Jitenge QR form you must have created before arrival. Once you land at NBO you will enter the airport and stand in line before you reach immigration. Health personnel scan your 3-D bar code QR form that you either printed or have open on your smart phone. You are required to log into the site everyday for 14 days and report any Covid symptoms.
In my case, my name doesn't appear when I log into the system and I can't enter symptoms. The system is supposed to notify the phone number you used to create the form. If not, you still can access the system by entering the number you used. Mine just tells me my number is invalid. I wonder what that matters after 90 days and 180 days when I leave the country.

Again, what difference does it make when Uganda Immigration pastes a white man's passport with a black woman' photo visa?

I heard about guys that keep the PDF so they use the same test for multiple visits.
When I left Kenya on the plan the captain announce 40 min delay as some passengers PCR was delayed and they already checked inn. This is happen only in Kenya airways when entire plan waiting 40 min to late passengers.
And the searched for nylon bags in you stuff in the airport security hoping to find something and charge you with a big fine. I did my homework and totally eliminate all Nylons. Kenya airways sent me email about it before the flight so I was prepared.
I would say in and out was very fast and VOA was just 40 min or so. When filling the VOA you need to provide hotel reservation or just saying you stay with a friend and add his phone number. Since I payed everything went smooth they only want the money and approve my VOA in zero time.
Now should I go to Kenya again? Well what has changed?
1. No curfew.
2. no police try to arrest you for violation of COVID.
3. Clubs open.
4. dry season arrived.
What not change.
1. I have no idea how to find quite apartment in Mtwapa beside the Israelis apartment and even there loud music.
2. ATM Issues-better to bring cash USD / Euros.
Overall, Jan to March is fantastic time for Kenya. Blue sky, clear sea water and girls everywhere.

What's the problem with only Evisa?
I'm sure they did it because they want to eliminate corruption and cash disappearing at the immigration counters.

These are the OFFICIAL websites. Don't fall for all the countless Visa BS Sites which takes another 50$ or more. Happened to friends of mine. Have fun. Particularly the Ugandan one is a lot fun...

Posts: 952021 Dec. Stilll possible to get a Tourist Visa ON-ARRIVAL?
It's December 2021, tourist season is certainly in full swing -- anyone confirm that still possible to get visas in-person, ON ARRIVAL? (Yes, we already know they want people to do the form online.) Confirmation is you've traveled there in the past month.
And is it still 50 USD?

Posts: 5Busy?
As one of the few open destinations. (and an easy-going one) how busy is Nairobi / Kenya now?
I suppose Covid's still having an effect, but are there a decent amount of foreigners? Maybe even as many as before the pandemic because Kenya's one of the easiest places to go to?
Would prefer it quiet when I arrive. Less competition!

Of course they will charge you the airticket at current rate. Nevertheless it doesn't bring many points to them. And in some cases they might fine their own check in agent.
This is why they are over careful about docs.

I read that someone who stays in Kenya simply goes to the nearest immigration office and pays an officer for a 3-month stamp.
