Move to Kenya.
We Make It Easy.

Yes. Most of the eligibility review, document preparation, online eFNS application and follow-up can be coordinated remotely. You may still need to appear personally for an endorsement, interview, verification or biometrics when required by the immigration authorities.

An approved permit or pass may require presentation for endorsement or other in-person formalities under the current immigration procedure. We explain the appropriate step for your class of permit and help you plan any necessary travel.

Validity depends on the permit class and the decision issued by the authorities. Some classes are approved for one or two years, renewable if the conditions continue to be met. Do not assume a fixed two- or three-year period; we will confirm the issued validity and diarise renewals.

Qualifying dependants can generally apply for a dependant pass supported by a Kenyan citizen, permit holder, permanent resident or other eligible sponsor. Proof of the relationship, legal status and financial capacity will typically be required. A dependant pass is not automatically a work authorisation.

Class D generally applies to foreign nationals offered specific employment in Kenya whose qualifications or skills meet the applicable statutory criteria. We assist employers and employees with eligibility, supporting documents, filings, renewals and compliance.

Class G covers certain foreign nationals conducting trade, business or consultancy in Kenya. It is not an automatic right to reside merely because money has been invested. Authorities assess the specific business, capital, documents and other eligibility criteria.

Potentially. Class K is a route for qualifying ordinary residents who meet the age and assured-income requirements. We assess your circumstances before advising on documents, lawful stay and arrangements for dependants.

Yes. Class N is a designated route for eligible remote workers serving employers or clients outside Kenya. WKA can assess your nationality, remote work arrangement, income evidence and supporting documents.

A Special Pass can authorise certain temporary business, trade or professional activity for a limited period, subject to approval and the applicable conditions. Official guidance describes a maximum of six months. It is not a substitute for a long-term permit when one is required.

Yes. We can advise on whether you require a Kenyan Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), coordinate documentation and help arrange airport meet-and-greet assistance where available. An approved eTA or valid exemption is not itself permission to work.

Yes. We support employers and global mobility teams with role-based immigration strategy, coordinated staff and dependant applications, document checklists, renewals and practical onboarding. We can also assist with related employment and corporate compliance.

It is the foreign-national registration document for non-citizens who meet Kenya’s registration criteria. The official rules generally require registration where a foreigner resides in Kenya for more than 90 days, subject to exemptions. A physical appointment and biometrics may be required.

No. Kenya does not automatically grant residence or work rights merely because you buy land, an apartment or a house. It is not a property-purchase Golden Visa scheme. WKA can advise separately on your acquisition and your immigration status.

We can offer priority internal document review, preparation and prompt filing or follow-up, subject to capacity. Official approvals remain with the Directorate of Immigration Services; government timelines and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Yes. We handle permit and pass renewals, record reviews, accompanying dependant applications and status or role changes, with advice on when a fresh application or approval is needed.

Some applicants may qualify. For example, one official pathway covers people who have held work permits for at least seven years and have resided continuously in Kenya for the three years immediately preceding their application. It is not an automatic entitlement and other categories exist.

Yes. We can introduce suitable clients to trusted real estate agents, coordinate aspects of the relocation and explain the relevant Kenyan driving-licence recognition, conversion or application procedures, subject to the applicable transport authority requirements.

We can review the decision, underlying application and supporting evidence, then advise on whether an appeal, review or fresh application is appropriate. There is no guarantee of reversal.

We provide a written professional-fee quotation after identifying your permit type and scope. Government filing or issuance fees, disbursements and related third-party costs are separate unless expressly included in the quotation.

We ask about your nationality and present location, purpose of travel, planned arrival, employer or investment plans and any accompanying family. We then explain the likely route, expected documents and next steps. Substantive advice and full engagement terms are confirmed separately.

We assess all current eFNS permit classes A, B, C, D, F, G, I, K, M, N, P, Q and R, as well as appropriate passes and exemptions. The route depends on the applicant’s actual activity, sponsor, nationality and supporting evidence.

Typically Form 25 and 27, passport and photos, the business case, Kenyan company documents including CR12, proof of at least USD 100,000 investment capital, bank and remittance verification, PIN and tax documentation. WKA checks the current eFNS requirements before filing.

The published eFNS checklist requests a suitable Kenyan understudy’s name, qualifications, CV and contact details, in addition to the foreign employee’s credentials and employer documents. WKA helps HR assemble and explain the required materials.

The eFNS information pack currently states a minimum age of 35 and assured annual income of at least USD 24,000 from qualifying sources, supported by documentary evidence. Class K is not permission to work or earn income locally.

Class N may be suitable for eligible foreign employees, foreign-company principals and independent service providers working for clients outside Kenya. eFNS asks for evidence of overseas work/income, accommodation and other supporting documents. WKA reviews eligibility before application.

A dependant pass is not a general work authorisation. The government states that it also does not replace a student/pupil pass where required for formal education. We can advise on a separate permit or pass for the proposed activity.

Temporary use depends on your home licence, international driving permit where appropriate, length and purpose of stay, applicable recognition rules and insurance terms. For a longer relocation, WKA can help assess whether NTSA foreign-licence conversion or a new Kenyan licence is appropriate.

We can advise on eligibility, check supporting documents, coordinate with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) process and follow up. NTSA—not WKA—decides whether a licence qualifies for foreign conversion and what verification or testing is needed.

Generally expect your existing valid foreign driving licence, passport, evidence of lawful immigration status, any Alien Card or registration particulars required by NTSA, and authenticity confirmation from the issuing authority or embassy if requested. The exact list depends on NTSA’s current portal requirements.

You may need to enrol in an approved Kenyan driving school, apply for a provisional driving licence (PDL) where required, complete training and take the NTSA tests before a Kenyan licence is issued.

No. An International Driving Permit is generally used with a valid domestic driving licence and does not create an independent right to drive indefinitely. Whether it may be used in Kenya depends on the circumstances; longer-term residents should check NTSA requirements.

We can guide clients on the correct issuing body and documentation. Kenyan IDPs are issued through the authorised Automobile Association channel to holders of valid Kenyan licences, not by WKA. We also assist with Kenyan driving-licence renewals and records issues through appropriate NTSA processes.

No. Immigration status and driving authorisation are distinct. Permit holders must separately comply with NTSA driving-licence, vehicle class and insurance requirements.

WKA can coordinate consolidated eligibility assessments, document checklists, Class D applications, dependent passes, arrival support, Foreign National Certificates, driving-licence guidance, and subsequent renewals for HR and mobility teams.

We offer priority legal preparation, responsive liaison and prompt follow-up. We cannot guarantee government priority, approval or a statutory processing time; any official accelerated option would be confirmed separately.

There is no universal two- or three-year term for all permit categories. For example, eFNS states Class N can be issued for one or two years, renewable. Other classes depend on the specific approval and prevailing practice. We advise on renewal dates once issued.
