If I could give negative stars I would. Kenya Government what is the point of having offices in New York when no one answers the phone? no one answers emails? getting access to enter the office is impossible. What are these people living lavida loca doing in New York? Close this office it is not serving Kenyans in New York.

Unbelievable! Staff don’t communicate with each other to confirm future appointments and there is nothing planned! Why is this office open for e- passport services when the main DC office has no idea what’s going on in NYC office? Internet service and phone lines don’t work either its a MESS ! Especially when you have to leave work and family to travel into NYC on a weekday and return home with zero ! are you kidding? are they kidding ? nah … Step up professionally. it’s disgusting !

Hello Daniel, Right now the process to get a new passport is taking quite some time. On average it is estimated at 3 months or more. The timeline if renewed in Kenya may be different and likely faster.

My daughter got e-visa and supposed to travel on June 10, 2019 as per the visa but travel has been postponed to July 1, 2019 due to unforeseen surgery on June 7, 2019. Can I use the existing visa to enter into Kenya even the travel date has changed?

I believe the evisa is for 3 months - see if it says that somewhere on the visa.

Hi! please kindly I need to talk with somebody at New York Kenya Embassy Office. The phone is just ringing.

monicah ndirangu | Oct 21, 2019

I think this happens in all Kenyan embassies, they never answer their phones when they do they talk like it's not their job to answer Kenyans questions especially the DC office worst customer service skills, Sorry fellow kenyan I have been trying to get hold of someone for 2weeks too. I feel sorry for someone who needs emergency help.

When is the office in NY open, I have been calling several days and no body in the office.

Paul Mutisya | Oct 21, 2019

The have never answered the phone 📱 for me either
