REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
The process of obtaining a work permit in Kenya is complex, the application has to be submitted at the Department of Immigration and takes up to 3 months to be finalized. It is quintessential to prove scarce skills and experience as the Kenyan Government will expect the foreign employer to transfer his/her skills to a Kenyan national. Those seeking to work in Kenya must therefore ensure that their prospective employers have secured appropriate Work Permits before they proceed and depart to Kenya.
