Kenyans Travelling To Schengen Countries To Experience Delays

Kenyans who want to travel Schengen nations will now have to wait until September because there are now no appointments for Visas due to high demand. 

This has been attributed to increased travel from non-European Union and third countries following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

“Immediately after the European Union/Schengen Area countries decided to ease their COVID entry restrictions for the summer, third country travellers who needed a visa to enter the EU/Schengen Area applied for one,” SchengenVisaInfo.com said in a statement.

“However, due to the high demand, those who have not applied yet will most likely be unable to find available appointments until mid-September.”

The Schengen region, which includes 26 nations, also disclosed that there are no vacant spaces for the summer months of July and August, despite the fact that some countries may have a few seats exclusively for August. 

A Schengen Visa allows a person to enter any EU country for a three-month period for either tourist or business.
