Kenya visa photo (eCitizen)
Exact requirements for the Kenya visa photo (eCitizen), with the official source and the date we checked it.
Issuer notice
The Kenya eCitizen page does not say whether edited backgrounds are accepted; it rejects scanned or photocopied photos and asks for a photo taken within 6 months. Capture-only mode against a plain white wall is the safe choice.

- Glasses
