Kenya on Thursday said it would grant visas on arrival for all travellers, after an online application platform collapsed making most government services inaccessible.

The incident on the e-citizen portal, which provides more than 5,000 government services including e-visas, was said to be a result of hacking although officials said no data had been lost.
