Kenya decides to extend tourist visa reduction

A reduction in the cost of a tourist visa to Kenya, brought in following political unrest in the country, will stay in place until July 1.

The Kenya Government had been expected to put the fee back up to £30 in January, but this week confirmed that the cost of a single entry tourist visa will remain at £20.

The waiver on the visa fee for children under the age of 16 years will remain in force for the same period.

In a statement, it said the single entry visa fee is "likely" to revert to £30 after July 1.
