Netherlands Warns Kenyans: No Schengen Visas Without E-Passports: The Dutch Embassy in Kenya has warned Kenyan travelers intending to apply for Schengen visas, that they can do so only if they are holders of e-passports, as of December…

Countries in Europe’s border-free Schengen area will stop accepting visa applications on the old passport starting June 1.

The US government will not give visas to Kenyans with old passports, the embassy said on Tuesday, signalling another round of the rush for the electronic travel documents.

The government is engaging in efforts to ease the e-passport application process by opening more centers for the Immigration Department.

The government has postponed plans to outlaw old passports citing poor response to calls for replacement with new ones with electronic features.

Kenyan Government sudden focus on Diaspora is a way of slowly brainwashing people so that they can ignore and temporary forget the very basic needs that ought to be addressed urgently.
