Kenya work-permit preparation and application support
Explore Kenya employment, business, digital nomad and EAC permit routes. RENEZ helps organise applicant, employer and business application records.
The correct permit depends on your nationality, activity, employer or business and immigration position. RENEZ EXTREME CONSULTANCY helps you organise those facts and prepare the published application requirements for the route under consideration.
Start with what you intend to do
Employment, business or remote work
Specific employment points to a different review from running a Kenyan business or working remotely for an overseas company. Explore Class D, Class G and Class N pages. EAC nationals should also review Class R rather than assume a standard non-EAC route applies.
Other activities and residence
Mining, agriculture, prescribed professions, manufacturing, religious or charitable activities and ordinary residence have distinct categories. The newer N, P, Q and R categories are addressed separately in the official eFNS information packs. A simplified A-to-M list is not a complete current overview. [S14, S18-S21]
A practical preparation process
Tell us your current status and intended activity. We agree the support scope, identify applicant and sponsor records and prepare an outstanding-document list. You and any employer review the application details before submission. Keep a record of the decision, payments, issue and endorsement steps, and the conditions and expiry of the issued document.
Renewals and changes
A renewal is not a reason to reuse an old file without checking it. Review current role, employer, business records, immigration dates and tax documentation. A change of employer, activity or permit category can require a different process. Ask for official clarification or legal advice where conditions or refusals are involved.
FAQs
Does applying authorise me to start work?
Do not assume so. Confirm the authority required for the specific activity and complete the official issue steps before commencing it.
Can a company certificate replace a work permit?
No. Business formation and immigration permission are separate.
Are government fees included in RENEZ's fee?
Only the written breakdown can define the quotation. Government charges should be identified separately, with current official invoices.
