The United States government has issued an advisory to Kenyan visa applicants, requiring them to include all social media usernames in their applications to prevent denial and future ineligibility.

• Visa applicants must list all social media handles for every platform used in the past five years.
• This notice comes from the US Embassy in Nairobi, part of tightened regulations since January 2023.
• Omitting social media details could lead to visa denial; however, applicants are not required to share passwords.
