Suppose so. When the Chinese in Kenya celebrate the Chinese New Year, China is also celebrating the Chinese New Year, but Kenya is only five hours behind the Chinese Beijing time.

In 2014, Kenya opened up the visa-on-arrival policy to China, that is, with a Chinese passport, you can directly register for a visa at the airport after arriving in Kenya, instead of needing a visa.

Kenya does not require a visa, but can have a visa on arrival, but the prerequisite for this visa on arrival is that the Chinese customs can agree to let you out. Customs at most airports in China will not let people leave the country without a valid visa on their passports, because you can't ask the customs officers and airlines to remember clearly which countries have visa-on-arrival policies for China. So it's best to get a visa before going out.

As Somalia, Sudan and other neighboring countries are still in a state of civil war, it has created an opportunity for terrorists to create ** incidents and small ** inflows. Coupled with the continued economic downturn and the high unemployment rate, the law and order situation in Kenya is not satisfactory. The capital, Nairobi, has the highest crime rate in Kenya.

Following the terrorist attack at the U.S. Embassy in Kenya in August 1998, another terrorist attack was carried out at the end of November 2002 on the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa. The international community is deeply concerned about the security situation in Kenya. Western countries such as the United States, Europe, and Australia have issued warnings to their citizens to travel to Kenya, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of tourists visiting Kenya, and Kenya's tourism industry has been hit hard.

The severe public security situation in Kenya has aroused great attention from Kenxin**. Since taking office in early 2003, Kibaki** has taken many measures to combat terrorism and strengthen public order, such as strengthening international cooperation in counter-terrorism, setting up anti-terrorism teams, and setting up security screening equipment in airports, hotels and other important places; We will intensify the anti-corruption efforts of the police force, significantly increase the police force, and improve the counter-terrorism skills of the police.

These measures have to some extent curbed the deteriorating trend of law and order in Kenya. With the exception of the United States, other Western countries have lifted their travel warnings to Kenya, and the number of tourists is on the rise.

On September 21, 2013, armed members of the "Islamic Youth Movement" in Somalia, Kenya, attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya (Kenya Mall attack) and engaged in an exchange of fire. The incident resulted in 240 people** (72 of whom died) and 11 suspects have been arrested.

I've been in Kenya for more than a year, and the security in the rich areas and the city center is okay during the day, and it's okay at night as long as you don't run out and let others rob you. The example you gave definitely not.

Kenya is recognized by the United Nations as one of the most habitable places in the world. Whether it is suitable for Chinese depends on your economic strength. Medical, shopping, and entertainment are still very good compared to other countries in Africa.

If you want to travel and enjoy nature, you should prepare 10,000 RMB a month (daily expenses).

My classmate is engaged in construction in Kenya, and the last time I came back to chat, I heard that the security is not very good, but it is not as bad as we think, and the security is worse than that of Shenzhen in China. The main thing is that there are more robberies, and if you go, you should be careful.

I have a classmate in Congo who said that it is not as scary as it is said, Kenya, Congo, Egypt are all right, North Africa and Central Africa are fine, South Africa, Ethiopia is more chaotic! Especially South Africa!!

Are you not afraid of Kenya in your own country?

The specific cost should be determined according to the product name, model, quantity and product value, or provide IDF documents.

In accordance with the Standards Act Cap 496, Laws of Kenya and the Quality Imports Order No. 78 issued in July 2005, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) began to implement exports on 29 September 2005 in order to ensure the quality of imported products and provide protections for the safety, health and environment of Kenyan consumers Former Standards Conformity Verification Program (PVOC).

Prior to the implementation of the PVOC program, Kenya had introduced a verification of arrival system for imported goods, which could easily lead to delays in the arrival of goods, and the additional burden of repatriation or destruction of non-conforming products by KEBS in a non-polluting manner. Therefore, since 2005, PVOC has been used as a method of pre-shipment verification.

Market access requirements.

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) launched the Pre-Export Standards Conformity Verification Scheme (PVOC) on 29 September 2005. Products in the PVOC catalogue must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (COC) prior to shipment and provide it to Kenya Customs upon arrival, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the country. In the absence of a COC, in exceptional circumstances, KEBS may decide to inspect the goods and impose a fine.

Scope of application. The standard conformity verification program covers 14 categories, including electrical and electronic products, toys, automobiles, food, chemicals, textiles and leather, furniture, building raw materials, and second-hand products.

Generally, export goods to Kenya must be COC, otherwise they cannot enter the country.

As an exception, KEBS may accept an application from the importer to carry out an inspection at the port of arrival in Kenya, but the importer will bear a penalty of 15 per cent of the value of the CIF goods, a bond of 15 per cent, and the cost of inspection and testing.

Kenya COC needs to prepare the following materials: 1, packing list invoice, 2, application form, 3, IDF, 4, product test report.

If it is a whole cabinet, it needs to be supervised, and the inspection can be issued within 3-5 working days.

In fact, as long as your products are within the scope of control, you have to do a PVOC customs clearance certificate, as long as it is by sea, air transport must have this certificate, as for express delivery, it is generally a small amount of goods before taking the express export Kenya FOB in a few thousand dollars, it seems that there is no need for a PVOC customs clearance certificate.
