Can I correct mistakes after submitting my Kenya eVisa application?

1 Which mistakes matter most for Kenya travel?

Not every typo carries the same weight. The errors that most often cause boarding or entry problems are:

• passport number that does not match the passport you will actually travel on;
• name spelling or name order different from the passport's machine-readable line;
• wrong date of birth or nationality;
• wrong passport expiry date;
• an unreadable passport scan or a non-compliant photo.

An error in any of these can make an approved authorization mismatch your document at check-in, which is where travelers usually get stopped.

2 Is an edit still possible after I submit?

There are two practical windows:

• Right after submission, before deep review — this is the best moment to flag a problem. If you catch it immediately, there may still be room to reach support before the file is locked in.
• Once the file is in review — in-place corrections are often no longer accepted, and the clean solution becomes a new application with the correct details.

Because timing decides which window you are in, do not wait "to see if it goes through."

3 What to do right now

1. Pin down the exact field. Write it plainly — "passport number wrong", "middle name missing", "arrival date wrong" — instead of "my form has an error".
2. Judge the severity. Identity, passport, and nationality errors are high risk; small non-identity differences may be lower risk but still worth confirming.
3. Have your reference details ready: application reference, passport number, traveler name exactly as entered, and the correct replacement value.
4. Be ready to reapply if review has already advanced and the mismatch involves your passport or identity.

4 Avoid repeating it

Before resubmitting anything, check each field against the passport itself — number, expiry, full name, date of birth, nationality, and arrival details — line by line rather than from memory.

5 Best next step

If the mistake affects your passport or identity, treat it as urgent. Review the Kenya eVisa requirements checklist first, then continue to the secure application flow only once your corrected details and uploads are ready.
