Questions that need answers
The Kenya eTA is generally single-entry. If you leave Kenya for another country, even within the EAC, you will likely need a new eTA to re-enter Kenya.
While the eTA is linked to your initial accommodation details, minor changes in hotel bookings within Kenya usually don't require an eTA amendment. However, you should always have proof of your actual accommodation ready when you arrive.
Visiting Family and Friends would be the most appropriate purpose for attending a wedding. You might need an invitation letter from the host.
It is strongly advised not to overstay your initial eTA duration, even if an extension application is pending. Overstaying can lead to fines, detention, or future entry bans.
