The cost of booking an appointment is 160 USD. At the time of writing this, that equates to roughly 23,000 Kshs. In addition to passport, photo, document, printing and misc costs.
Here’s ny issue: In case you’re denied the visa, your appointment fee is not refunded.
Essentially, It’s a win/lose situation for the applicant, but a WIN/WIN for the embassy;
If you acquire a visa, you get the opportunity to be racially profiled, taxed to the eyeballs by uncle Sam, witness school shootings and forced to embrace LGBTQ+.
If you are rejected, that"s your hard-earned money inside the white man’s pocket.
This practice is grossly unethical. It is the epitome of absolute corruption!
Mere thugs in fancy suits, speaking in fancy accents.
Ksh 23,000 fee x100 visa applicants per day = 2,300,000 per day tax free. Hii ni hujuma. Then they give visas to only 10% of the applicants. Hio visa application fee should be refundable kama hawakupei visa.
