Hey community! I got my Kenya visa approved last week March 6th, and I'm traveling there on March 21st. When I looked at the document, I noticed that the travel dates they put were March 15th-19th... I've tried to reach out to them, and even tried to reach the Kenyan embassy in DC, but haven't received a response... and the website isn't letting me re-apply... can anyone confirm that the travel dates on the visa aren't important, as long as the visa is valid? Thank you!!!

Kenya visa approved, but with wrong travel dates
It's common for visa validity periods to differ slightly from exact travel dates. The visa is likely valid for entry between March 15th and March 19th. To be safe, check the actual stamp in your passport for the validity dates. If they don't match your March 21st travel, contact the Kenyan embassy again or consult a visa service for advice. Good luck!
