Above reply is misleading. It is illegal to work without having a work permit beforehand. While you can come on tourist visa to pursue issuance of work permit, you can not actually work. However, this is not necessary as generally the follow up is ... Read More

Hi everybody, It would be very useful to talk about the cost of living in Kenya. Don't forget to mention where in Kenya you are living. How much does it cost to live in Kenya? > accommodation prices > public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ...
Pardon me, but I think USD 1000 will only translate to Ksh. 85,000. It is very poor salary and it will be very difficult to live on this salary. Read More

While salary itself appears fair, cost of medical can be very very expensive in Nairobi. In some cases as much as 4-5 times the cost in India. If you want to live lavishly, you would save nothing, in my opinion. Read More

Legally, you should have a work permit before you begin working on your job. If your employer has already obtained a work permit for you, the copy of the same should suffice. If you are coming just for a visit, an invitation and evidence for where ... Read More
