According to the Kenya Immigration Department, 7,332 work permits were issued in 2021, up from 5,851 in 2020. As the country continues to see more talent mobility following the COVID-19 pandemic, Senior Manager Willys Mac’Olale analyzes the current economic environment in Kenya and explains how the influx of global talent could bode well for the economy.
In “Immigration Reforms Needed To Spur Talent Mobility,” Willys writes that companies in Kenya that intend to apply for work permits for East African nationals are exempt from paying the work permit government fees.
This is a testament to Kenya’s efforts to attract talent and investment from the region.
