Any East Africans who have recent experience being approved/denied e-visas through the Nairobi embassy? I have a friend who applied for a tourist visa and was rejected despite meeting all requirements. We have tried re-submitting but trip is in one week. Any insights?

Thailand doesn't want tourists other than Chinese and Indian tour groups. Just take your money and go elsewhere. Malaysia is a good option.

Don’t book flights before you have a visa
