Extending visa

Post new topic

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

Hi. I am a norwegian currently here in Nairobi on a visiting visa. My visa expiring 2 weeks before my flight go back, though I came the 8.th of January and will stay here less than 90 days.

I try to fill out the form for extending visa an book an appointment,  but you don't accept my emailadress.

What do I do to book this appointment? I feel I am in a small hurra for this now.

Single entry tourist visas are confirmed on entry into Kenya for different lengths of time: 1 month, 30 days, 2 months, 3 months depending on - what? I've never known. You are right to pay attention and extend it if necessary.

Extending your visa is easy to do online. It will take 24 to 48 hours and there's no fee.

For information go to and click on the Extension of Visa Application. That will take you to . There you will be able to open an account and then follow instructions.

Be aware that the documents you need to download need to be a maximum of 129 kb to be accepted by the program so you may have reduce their size e.g. passport photo.

When it comes through, you do not need to get your passport stamped. Just print it and insert it in your passport.  When you leave the country that will be proof that your visa was extended and it will show up on the computer at the Passport Control desk.

Safe travels home when the time comes.

@Sarnia thank you for your answer, but still I have done all you say. But my issue is that the immigration office  during the application doesnt acept my emailadress so I am not able to finish this. Please help

Sarnia

That is strange. Are you sure there isn't a typo in it?

Do you have another email address you can use?

You can create one in google gmail. I've had to do that when I was opening a new account because I had to use my British passport instead of my Canadian one.

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

@Sarnia first I must say I have tried two different emailadresses. It doesnt help.

And are you working in this immigration office?

Hello Bernt-Erik Skjetne,


Welcome to expat.com!


For your own safety, I do not advise you to share your email address and passport number on the forum (this is how identity theft mostly happens)


@EFNS Support

How exactly can you help Erick?

No Bernt-Erik, I'm not part of any immigration department or law firm. I only offered what I did from personal experience.

I think your only recourse now is to go to Nyayo House (immigration) in Nairobi and explain your problem and get the extension there.

The entrance for foreign nationals is on the left the side of the building - facing it.

Ignore the line up if there is one. Go up the exit ramp.

If the guards question you say you're just going to Room 18 and look like you know exactly what you're doing.

Room 18 is in a corridor on your right once you get inside. I have found them wonderfully helpful.

And that is from much experience too.

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

EFNS Support. My time is running out today.

Please

Sarnia

I suspect EFNS Support is a scam. Sorry but...

Get to Nairobi to Nyayo House immediately, tomorrow.

Erik kindly confirm what i have sent you i is working.

EFNS Support

As for your query Erik.

Once you enter into the country on a tourist visa you are given 90days to be around after which you have to leave the country or if you wish to extend your stay you apply for the vistiors pass extension() which is free for upto 3months.

No endorsements need for this application after approval.If you have any questions feel free to ask i will answer.

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

This is not working

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

@Sarnia thank you so much for your advice. I will meet up there tomorrow and do exactly what you said today.

I appriciate your help

I agree, get to Nyayo House in Nairobi BEFORE your visa expires.  Under no circumstances overstay your visa, this is a serious offence and you can be arrested and sent to court.

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

@Longonot62 I know. I will not do anything wrong. I really love this country and don't wanna make any mistakes

EFNS Support

@Bernt-Erik Skjetne

Bernt-Erik Skjetne

@EFNS Support good evening.  Refering to your help about my expiring visa. I have got no answer if this is confirmed and extendined.  How can I be sure that this go thru when I have returntickets the 21st of March?

Hi,  I don't think that EFNS Support is actually an official support service from Kenya Immigration. 


I believe that the online service should tell you.  Otherwise go to Nyayo House in Nairobi, or an immigration office closer to your location (there is one in Mombasa for example) and physically check your status.

@Bernt-Erik Skjetne Hi, you can extend your visa for another 3 months online.
