Should I update information after Kenyan visa was granted?
I'm an American. A month or so ago, I applied for and got a Kenyan visa for a volunteer trip I'm taking this summer. On the application, it asked "What countries have you visited in the past three months?" to which I put none.
At the time, this was true. But today, my friend and I booked a last minute trip to Mexico City (because flights were dirt cheap). But doing this makes my visa application information outdated..
I obviously don't want to, but I have 24 hours to cancel my flight. In that time, the Kenyan embassies in the US will not be open, nor will the customer service line listed on the Kenyan visa website.
Best Answer
No, you do not need to update anything as the information you've submitted at the time of the application was valid. You cannot be expected to continuously inform them about every little new detail up until your visa is issued.
Relax and enjoy your stay in Mexico.

Answer 2
No, not unless there has been a significant change, which, under either Kenyan law or in the estimation of Kenyan officials, would bar your entry. That is very unlikely to apply to an American who travels briefly to a nearby country. It might, for example, if you had gone to an area where yellow fever is a risk and your passport shows that you visited such a country. In that case, the government of Kenya would need evidence of vaccination before allowing you entry. Mexico is not on the list.
