You can't ask Africans to legalize their documents in their ministry of foreign affairs and because most are not members of the apostille convention you will tell them to do legalization via third country which are mostly European countries then after presenting their documents to tell them to go to first get a European Schengen visa to go to Europe to get their visa process And you do all this after giving account for them to pay in their visa fee which is non refundable Giovanna Valverde Stark please look into this They service behind the emails are not doing their job properly
Please the mission of the embassy is so complicated the Costa Rica embassy in Nairobi should be able to process visa application for all African countries and not referring them to Europe because less than five countries in this Africa continent are members of the apostille convention

El pasado 7 de junio, las Embajadas de Costa Rica y Francia en Kenia, en el marco del Festival del Océano de Mombasa, coorganizaron la mesa redonda titulada “Diálogos Azules (Blue Talks): Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Océano 2025 - Reforzar el papel de la ciencia y los científicos en la elaboración de políticas y la toma de decisiones relacionadas con el medio ambiente”, con vistas precisamente a la Tercera Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Océano (2025) que copresidirán Costa Rica y Francia.
La Embajadora Giovanna Valverde Stark compartió información sobre la importancia del uso de datos científicos en la gobernanza de los océanos y subrayó el papel crucial del “océano global”, que Costa Rica reconoce desde el punto de vista medioambiental como una única masa de agua interconectada, que une, sostiene y conecta ecosistemas, personas, comunidades y países. Reafirmando el compromiso de Costa Rica con el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 14, hizo un llamado a la necesidad de cambiar nuestra relación con el océano a través de la comprensión de la conexión entre las actividades humanas y la salud de los océanos, así como la promoción de una transformación efectiva hacia una economía azul sostenible y soluciones basadas en la naturaleza, y enfoques basados en los ecosistemas. También informó sobre la resolución 6/18 presentada por Costa Rica y la Unión Europea en la UNEA6 en febrero del presente año, llamada "Fortalecer la gobernanza marina para abordar el cambio climático, la pérdida de biodiversidad marina y la contaminación" y la Estrategia Nacional de Carbono Azul lanzada el año pasado. La restauración y conservación del ambito marino-costero representa no solo seguridad alimentaria para las comunidades costeras, sino un enorme aporte a la mitigación, adaptación y resiliencia al cambio climático.
Acompañaron el evento los embajadores de Alemania, Sebastian Groth; Francia, Arnaud Suquet; y la Unión Europea, Henriette Geiger. También estuvieron presentes el gobernador de Lamu, Issa Timamy; y el director del Instituto de Investigación Marina y Pesquera de Kenia, Prof. James Njiru.
El Festival del Océano de Mombasa es un proyecto de EUNIC (Institutos Nacionales de la Unión Europea para la Cultura) y comprende una serie de actividades culturales y educativas destinadas a informar al público y técnicos sobre el impacto de la acción humana en el océano. ... See MoreSee Less
