Posts: 8Been on this thread for two years, have a folder made up etc. Just wondering, for 10 day visit, thinking Nairobi only, but should I add Mombasa, or is it not worth it? From Mombasa thread it seems like it got quite worse, and not worth it? Highly planning a trip in next 4-6 weeks (mid to end September). Honestly, with the contacts I made in last two years via tinder etc. For banging purposes I'm good with Nairobi for whole 10 days. But thinking I might get bored, so train to Mombasa might be nice add to experience. Have anyone took that new train to Mombasa? Is it scenic? Or should I save time and take a flight. If I actually decide to go there?

A "single" entry Kenyan VOA can be used to exit to TZ or UG and you can return within the validity of the 90 days to KE without paying for a new VOA. I know its confusing.

If you leave the EATV (KE RW UG) area I. E. Travel to TZ for example the EATV is void. If you want to reenter Kenya for example you need to buy a new visa.
EATV is multi entry even if you leave any of the 3 countries you can re-enter within the 90 days.

You fly to Addis Ababa and return after a couple of days and you're good for another 90+90 days. Or you give kito kidogo 30.000 ksh and you so to speak virtually leave and return to KE i.e. get stamped out and in with a new sticker. There's helpful minders full service. I know people who are here more than 10 years. In fact there is a Scotsman in his eighties in Mtwapa. He simply burned his passport. Hence nobody bothers deporting him.

There are 6 EAC countries: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, S. Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. I read that DRC may join in the future.
You can get individual country Visas but, but its my understanding that the EAC Visa is good for only 3 countries. The EAC Visa is a 90-day, single entry visa into the EAC but allows multiple entry between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. It is not renewable.

Now that I think about it, there's one more visa problem that I may run into: if my staying in Uganda exceeds the end date of my initial 90 days Kenyan VOA, I may not be able to get a new 90 day Kenyan VOA when returning into Kenya as this would exceed the 180 days max staying in East Africa. That problem could be avoided by extending the Kenyan VOA way before the 90 days expire. I tried that once, in Mombasa, but immigration refused to extend it before the last week of the visas validity. Other than that Mombasa immigration is efficient and without causing problems.
