If your Kenya visa application status shows “rejected,” understand and address the reasons for rejection before reapplying. Some of the common Kenya visa rejection reasons include:

• Incomplete or inaccurate application: Missing or mismatching information on your visa application can often lead to visa rejection.

• Invalid passport: Having a passport with a validity of less than six months (at least) from the arrival date in Kenya. 

• Incorrect photograph: Submitting photos that do not meet the visa photo requirements (e.g., must be clear, unedited, and not older than 6 months) can cause issues.

If your Kenya e-visa status is still showing "in process," there might be two possible scenarios:

• Still within the processing window: The Kenya e-visa processing generally takes 3 working days. So, it's normal for the status to remain "in process" during this period.

• Processing delays: If the status remains unchanged even after the processing time is over, check your email's spam or junk folder to see if you have missed any updates. If there are no updates, contact the e-visa support team of the application platform through which you applied.

No, you cannot check your Kenya visa status offline. The e-visa process is fully digital and monitored directly by the Kenyan immigration authorities. Embassies or consulates are not involved in this process.
