September 12, 2015: Kenya - restoration of visa issuance upon arrival. Just a few days after the visa issuance at Kenya's points of entry was banned by the Kenyan government, it has been restored. It will continue until the newly introduced electronic visa system is fully operational. In the meantime, both systems (online application and manual issuance) will run concurrently. Visa application may also be made at the relevant Kenyan embassy in due time. Kenya is one of the most open countries with nationals of most countries getting their visas upon arrival. In Kenya, tourism accounts for 12 percent of total employment, making it second, only to agriculture in terms of importance.    Links • daily nation • nation media group • business daily • the east african Same category in a different destination Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Balearic islands (Spain) Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bermuda (UK) Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia-Herzegovina Botswana Brazil Brunei Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cambodia Cameroon Canada Canary islands (Spain) Cape Verde Cayman Islands (UK) Chad Chile China Colombia Congo Corsica (France) Costa Rica Côte d'Ivoire Crete (Greece) Croatia Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Dominican Republic Ecuador - Galápagos Egypt El Salvador Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Finland France French Guiana French Polynesia Gabon Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Greece Guadeloupe, St. Barths, & St-Martin Guam (USA) Guatemala Guernsey/Jersey Guinea Guyana Haiti Hawaii (USA) Honduras Hong Kong (China) Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iran Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Jamaica Japan Jordan Kazakhstan Korea (south) Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Libya Lithuania Luxembourg Macau (China) Macedonia Madeira and Azores (Portugal) Malawi Malaysia Mali Malta Martinique (France) Mauritania Mexico Moldova Monaco Mongolia Morocco Mozambique Myanmar Namibia Netherlands Netherlands Antilles & Aruba New Caledonia (France) New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Norway Oman Pakistan Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Puerto Rico (USA) Qatar Romania Russia Rwanda Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Samoa Sardinia (Italy) Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia and Montenegro Sicily (Italy) Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands South Africa Spain Sudan & South Sudan Suriname Swaziland Sweden Switzerland Syria Taiwan Tanzania Thailand Togo Trinidad & Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turks and Caicos (UK) Uganda Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Uruguay Uzbekistan Venezuela Vietnam Virgin Islands, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe
