I have been on Tagged for a while with location set to Mombasa and I see that 90% of the girls want a serious relationship. Zero girls have offered money for sex. Is this strange? I read in these forums that this should be a common occurrence on Tinder, which led me to believe that it would be the same on all dating apps.
I will pay a Tinder subscription the day before flying to Mombasa and see what results I get. I just don't have the energy or the patience to pretend that I care that much. Some girls have already started to be "jealous", but I am not going to lie and say that I am not seeing anyone else. I hate lying.

When you are at the immigration desk they will ask how long you are staying, tell them 4 weeks or whatever. They will write in pen oftentimes on your visa stamp a time frame for that visa.
You can stay 3 months then extend 3 months by law.

Posts: 45I am now regretting booking my airplane ticket for only 2 weeks. I already applied for Visa with the exact arrival and leave date.
Considering they gave me a 3 months visa, I assume it doesn't matter if I buy a different return ticket and return on a later date?

I wouldn't even mind a slightly higher rate if that means I can send money directly to my M-pesa wallet from my phone anytime I want!

Posts: 2PrEP prescription?
Traveling soon to Mombasa and would need a prescription for PrEP. Any recommendations around Nyali area where to find a place to get one? Nyali Center or City Mall areas would be perfect.
Haven't logged in here for a long time and I have lost my old username and password, so I had to register and get a new one.
Thanks!

As far as transferring to mpesa, I downloaded the app to try it out but I have to wait until I have a safaricom sim. But I did ask around about the app and I was told that you can use a bank account and maybe even a credit card. If that's true, I believe the exchange rate would be determined by my bank. Please correct me if I'm wrong. When traveling and using my credit card, my bank has always given me a better exchange rate than any of the money exchangers. In fact, it's usually right at market rate. I guess I'll try it out with a small sum at first from my bank account to mpesa, then check my statement online to calculate the rate.

It seems very straightforward and doesn't involve going to places and wasting time as it can be done from your phone in a few seconds.
On a different note: is it easy to find a GF apartment in Mtwapa once I am on the ground? I don't want to book everything in advance as I may not like the apartment once I see it.

Posts: 390ATM & money change in Mtwapa
In Mtwapa there are at least two ATM places that do not charge more costs.
These are Diamond Trust Bank in Mtwapa Mall and National Bank, next to the big mosque along the main road in the Malindi direction.
There might be more banks in Mtwapa that do not charge.
A good place to change cash money in Mtwapa is the Shaban phone shop next to Casuarina on the same side of the road.
Shaban moved from the Cheers location to Mtwapa.

Other alternatives: Call an insurance broker in Italy to find a plan for you or buy a medical plan for visitors from a insurer in Kenya (better before your landing there).
An annual plan won't work as you have to be back to Italy (35 days with Allianz, for example, and yes they won't offer beyond 120 days).
