Statutory Framework Governing Business Immigration in Kenya

The legal foundation for immigration services for businesses in Kenya is primarily the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011, along with its subsidiary legislation and directives from the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. For businesses, this means adhering to stringent regulations concerning the employment of foreign nationals, which involves obtaining appropriate work permits, passes, and visas. The Directorate of Immigration Services is the primary authority responsible for processing these applications. Our firm's deep understanding of these statutes and regulatory bodies ensures your business remains compliant and avoids potential sanctions or operational disruptions.
