The Chinese embassy in Nairobi, Kenya has announced the cancellation of visa appointments for Kenyans, effective November 20, 2023.

According to a statement from the embassy, the move aims at easing the process of acquiring visa for Kenyans seeking to travel to China.

Kenyans seeking a Chinese visa will now be required to submit their applications directly to the Visa application service centre in Nairobi.

Kenya and China are marking six decades of formal diplomatic relations.
