Transit Visa in Kenya
Hi, all! I will be spending 73 hours in NBO and wanted to apply for my visa in advance. I am a US citizen and will be coming and going via Brussels. Is it possible for me to save the $30 and get the $20 transit visa instead of the $50 single entry visa? And really, once you factor in the amount of time spent in the airport after landing and also in preparation to depart again, that 73 hours drops down to about 67 hours actually inside Kenya.
If it's too risky I'll apply for the single entry visa, but I thought I would ask.

We had to pay $50 for 48 hr transit 1 week post fire--if the immigration is still on the tarmac in tents, be sure your line really has a terminal at the front of it...there were more lines than stations when we arrived which led to a lot of high school kids pushing in our experience. We were last to go through the formailites, though, and it only took about 30 minutes
