I am in the same situation. Got my eta approved last week, but the passport number is xxxxxxxxM instead of xxxxxxxx8. I also sent 2 emails to etakenya@immigration.go.ke, but no reply. I wonder if yours also changed from a number to M? Maybe it is M for male?

Problem solved, the solution is to insist, insist, and still insist. In the end they answer. They answered me asking for a new passport page to correct my eTA. So it's not true that if you make a mistake in filling out the visa then you have to make a new one. Of course you must lose some time to correct your mistake.

Is the sad life for most Kenya's, dude I'm pretty sure you just have $40-$100 ready when they look at your paperwork and you'll be fine I find out that corruption begins at the airport in that country and people are willing to make a quick buck easily in that country.

What do you mean, sorry? Why should I worry about having 100 dollars in my pocket since I have a new eTA and above all I know how to make myself respected? Corrupted cops, I know from experience, look at you at your face and act accordingly. So I'm quiet.

At least I'm not the only one! Well, I've written several times too and the only answer I've received was: Your are the one who uploaded a passport bio-data page which is not clear (without even the question mark). I answered yes, and asked what can be done to correct the error but for 5 days I have no answer. I also said if it was better to apply for a new eTA but nothing. So I will wait another 4-5 days and then apply for a new visa.

Great, I'm such a fool! I filled out my eTA visa online and the procedure is different from the past. Now you just need to upload the passport photo and the system will detect all data.

But I made the mistake of assuming that the system detected data correctly, instead. I received the visa "approved" but on the same visa my surname doesn't appear and the passport number is wrong for a number.

My mistake, which I did not check in the end. What a fool! I tried to contact the immigration at etakenya@immigration.go.ke but after days I did not receive a response. I also wrote with whatsapp but nothing. I will wait for some more day and if I have no answers I will present a new eTA.

But sure this new system is bad and ok, the mistake is mine too.

Has any of you been through something like that?

Big thanks for this very very important note! I hope you and DonJoh can solve this problem and fulfil your mission.

This is a great idea, just have a few questions.

Do you know how long it takes to get these test results back in Kenya?

How much does all these tests cost?

Do you go with the girl to the hospital to get the tests done?

Do you still use a condom after you do all of these tests? What about a condom for a BJ?

One girl had it done at her gynecologist office in Mombasa, and the results took one week. I also had her examined by the gynecologist and read his report. (this one was diagnosed with syphilis and genital herpes) I didn't have sex with her since genital herpes could spread even if you use condom. She was so ashamed that she didn't even want to meet for lunch, and the girls insisted I won't have sex with her even after her syphilis was cured. The other girl in Nairobi at a hospital also took a week. I had a girl also in Nairobi who only had the HIV test on the same day. One in Kakamega hospital also took one week, followed by consultation with her doctor. I didn't go with them, they just sent me the detailed list of test results. I don't remember the exact cost, but I believe around 3-4k ksh. Those girls who I used condoms with, I also tested them with a saliva based 4th generation HIV kit oral swab. No blood, takes about 15 minutes. I purchased them on Amazon. Someone may think that girls could just fake it by paying off some health officials. However, my girls know each other, actually they are friends. Sometimes even go out together. I believe they keep each others in check, and they know their lane, and by knowing where they can be found. Same tribe also! I don't do hookups, so I don't use condoms for BJ. In my experience, maybe about 1/3rd of girls like doing BJ.

I can tell you this after living in Thailand for some years a lot of Farangs felt for there lies too and got took the cleaners in the process. I met a lot of liars in Nepal, India, Philippines, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Puerto Rico, The DR, USA and even Colombia. The truth to the fact of a matter if you meet a woman and she's so eager to meet up with you and why'all fuck on the first or second night dude she's a working girl abd she's only after your wallet. I need to pay for a membership and I'll post up the numerous texts I'm getting from chicks I paid for sex and all of sudden we're in a relationship. They do this because there's plenty of stupid desperate guys who fall for this type of shit all the time. I literally got chicks I block on WhatsApp who'll spend money on international calls just to come to me with some BS. I wouldn't be looking for a girlfriend in a country like Kenya I rather just pay for sex and it get it over with. I'm pretty sure there are some good women over there but in a country where you see more homeless women than men I'll take my chances sticking to the literal. Don't get me wrong I met some great people over there but it doesn't mean they're dateable.

In Kenya, as in any other place, there are also good people. But we are in Africa, people are hungry, who have something interesting between their legs sells it to anyone can afford it. There can be no spontaneity when a *****monger like us goes to seek prostitutes. You find what you seek. The good girl of your dreams is still in the village, you will not find her on the beach or in the disco. Seeking a girlfriend or wife in Kenya is from psychiatric treatment because they do not care who you are, it matters that you marry her and keep all her family. Go and take to bed who you want, and pay to let her go when it's all over. Go out alone, have a beer, stay free.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I do. I send my girls to their nearest hospital for STD screening. Including HIV using the Fourth-generation HIV tests. It can detect HIV approximately 14 to 20 days after infection. It's not expensive to do and the girls like doing it also. I had one girl tested positive for syphilis and genital herpes one time. Not one of them ever tested positive for HIV. I also carry condoms if I don't have time to test her.

This is a great idea, just have a few questions.

Do you know how long it takes to get these test results back in Kenya?

I was walking through CBD saw this one African woman with an amazing body waiting outside, I signaled her to come over and she agreed. I told her I love to see her naked and she told me 1500 bob sounds just about right for a well kept a Kenyan woman. I asked her was she on Prep (code word for no condom sex), she told me 3000 bob and showed me the medication in her room. We got down to business and busted very heavy inside of her 20 minutes later. I watched this same woman remove some of the demon from her vagina and she went outside with me. And she stood back on the block and another African man approached her when she went with him to her room. In short Prep will protect the person taking it but it won't protect you in this case. Please use a condom when over in that continent period a lot of these guys won't tell you the truth like this.

It's obvious that PreP only protects you who take it, fuck a stranger without guarantees is stupid. If you cannot use the condom, do the tests and when your results are good, then prescribe the PreP therapy which protects (but not 100%) from HIV. So get your lady tested for HIV and take your daily PreP. This won't save you from other sexually transmitted diseases but it's something. Dirty spit inside is never a good idea.

True, you can date almost any girl in Kenya. If she is a pro or not you will never know unless she is working 48 hrs a week.

The first rule of Kenyan ladies They always tell lies. Every time and all of the time.

Kenya one of highest hiv and std rates in africa, I want to visit but afraid. Can you tell me how everyone here acting as there is nothing there.

I'm planning on a couple month trip to Kenya.

I'm an experienced traveler around South East Asia, especially Cambodia and Philippines where I'm always cautious about being robbed and never had any trouble.

My question should I leave an expensive laptop and cellphone at home, or bring it? I'm mostly worried about it getting stolen in the hotel as I may move around a bit.

What are the odds of having my laptop stolen in a hotel or possibly ABNB if I rent one?

Thanks.

You should be good in most hotels unless they are holes in the wall. Security is involved in most thefts. I don't use Airbnb but it's likely safe too. Don't give anyone access to your room, not even hotel employees or someone you think you can trust. Don't talk about or flash money. Don't give big tips; don't dress expensively; don't wear expensive jewelry. Act poor. Being generous cause the opposite reaction you expect it to. Carry your phone and money in pockets that can be buttoned, zipped, velcro or snapped. Hide your computer in your room. Make it look as if you don't have one.

They all, both men and women, lie more than they tell the truth and for no reason and they all will steal eventually. Kenya borrow means they have no intention of returning it to you.
