What should I pay attention to when entering Africa?

September is the time to go to Africa. How about going to Kenya in Africa? You can enjoy the beautiful scenery and exotic customs, but your visa and some entry preparations should be prepared before the area.

For China citizens, theoretically, both Kenyan and Tanzanian can apply for landing visa. You need to provide a third-party visa when you leave Chinese mainland, and you can only apply for a Kenyan e-visa.

However, visas are, after all, the embodiment of national sovereignty. If landing visa is required, foreign citizens need to be inspected by Kenyan or Tanzanian border control and immigration authorities upon arrival. If they do not meet the visa requirements on arrival or have other circumstances that prevent them from entering the country, they may be refused entry. As the success of landing visa will face many uncontrollable factors, Lu Xiao strongly recommends that you apply for a visa at the local embassy in advance.
