Summary
South Sudan will no longer issue visas on arrival to Kenyans as Juba intensifies the uptake of online and embassy visa applications to raise revenues and curb misappropriation.
The Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Deng Dau Deng said the move would ensure accountability of fees collected from applicants.
“This is just a normal routine; the Embassy in Nairobi will be issuing visas to those who are in need of entering South Sudan. There is also an E-Visa they can get through an online application. So it is just a normal procedure not specific to Kenyan natives.
