About Kenya

Whether your company is sending employees to Kenya or expanding your worldwide footprint—Fragomen is here to help. Our experienced immigration professionals partner with businesses of all sizes to develop immigration strategies that can help you achieve your goals.

  • ​​Kenya's immigration system provides several options for employers of foreign nationals. Most​ business travelers must apply for an eTA online before traveling for stays of up to 90 days. East African Community nationals are exempt from the eTA requirement. ETA applications must be submitted at least 2 weeks before travel to ensure adequate time for processing.
  • The Special Pass allows foreign nationals to conduct work activities for up to 90 days. Special Pass applications are filed at the Kenya Immigration Department Headquarters before the foreign national travels to Kenya.
  • The long-term work permit (Class D Permit) is suitable for skilled and experienced professionals or technical workers; it requires sponsorship from a Kenyan legal entity. Work permits are issued for one or two years ​and can be renewed for similar periods.​​

Fragomen can also consult on citizenship matters and, as permitted within the confines of local law, may be able to offer citizenship assistance.

Fragomen in Kenya is Fragomen Kenya Limited, operating exclusively as an immigration consultancy and not as a law firm in Kenya.
