Relief for Kenyans in the Gulf as Gov’t Introduces e-Passport Services in Riyadh

The government is set to begin processing e-passports at the Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The move will enable Kenyans living and working in Saudi Arabia as well as Yemen and Iraq to renew or apply for the new-generation passports without having to travel back to the country. The Kenyan mission in Riyadh is accredited to both Yemen and Iraq. “This is to inform that the Embassy in Riyadh has been approved by the Government to process the new generation passports (e-passports),” the Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh said in a statement this week.
