Hi,

It all depends on your needs. These are available. (Are you aiming for permanent residency?)

I wrote an ebook that details all of that.

The first question would be, if you have been in Kenya for 3 years, what permit do you currently have? Another pertinent question would be whether you are married to a Kenyan citizen and for how long as after 3 years you can apply for permanent residency.

Do you know if the East African tourist visa is as acceptable within Kenya (and at the border!) as an eTA? A lot of the information online appears to be outdated.

@DouglasMcG. The East Africa Tourist Visa (EATV) is no longer valid in Kenya and an eTA will be required even if you hold. An eTA must be applied for, approved and printed out before arrival (at least 72 hrs prior). It is not available at the border/on arrival.
