Having a headache with Kenyan tourist Visa application. Any advice?

AzorAhai

Hi guys. I have been filling out the tourist visa for Kenya and have gotten 5 pages in and come to the section where there are 3 parts to it where I have to upload documents. I have uploaded the first section, which is upload a photo of my passport data info. However, the next 2 sections are doing my head in.

Here is the following of what the 2nd section says:

Business Visits 1. Invitation Letters from company / Invitation letter for business visits 2. Copies of registration of the company Family visits 3. Invitation Letters from family. 4. Identity card / Passport / Alien card / Entry permit of the host. Tourists 5. Travel itinerary (Details about places to visit if going as tourist). 6. Hotel bookings. Identity Documents 1. Clear Passport bio data page. 2. A clear photograph.

The problem is, I have a airbnb booking which means the documents aren't physical and therefore I cannot take a photo and upload via my phone. The flight tickets are E-tickets, so they are electronic. I have considered just leaving the visa application until I reach the airport in Kenya, which would be simpler. However, it would be nice to sort this out beforehand. I just needed some advice on what I should do for the above documents required. It is my first time travelling abroad since I was young with family, so not used to dealing with these visa applications.

The third section isn't so bad. It is basically uploading a clear photo which is not my passport photo. A bit annoying, but should be doable in my bedroom taken in front of my white wall.

From 1 - 3 doesn't seem to apply to me. However, no.4 may do as it asks about host's details. Would this apply to me as a tourist? No.5 is for tourists, but I have no Itinerary booked as of yet. Also, I have already given the apartment details on a previous page so no.6 "Hotel bookings" shouldn't apply. ID I have already provided and a clear photograph I can upload.

I am just a bit confused about that section tbh.

Don't expect the visa process to be logical...


Itinerary: just write a list of places that you would like to visit.


Hotel bookings: copy and past the confirmation from Air BnB.

This may seem far too obvious a solution, but I will say it anyway: take a screenshot of the bookings and E-Tickets on your phone (or a screencap of them if on a laptop/computer)?
