Hello My husband has been offered a job based in Nairobi but travelling around East Africa. I intend to join him, don't need to worry about accommodation etc as is provided. He will get a working visa l will be a dependent, we don't have kids and l am very keen to work. I'm not really sure which visa l should be considering, and even where to go about looking for employment. I'm a project consultant/business analyst in UK and although not precious about kind of work administration fine l don't think l will fair well sitting around all day, lve always worked! I'm reticence to leave a well paid job in UK to become a kept woman!!!! I don't really fancy volunteering as well that doesn't pay for my shoe addiction!! Any advice or pointers gratefully received. Regards

Hi Purdypop,

If you want to work in Kenya, you will need to apply for a Class D visa which will also require you to have a firm job offer from an employer. So you will need to start by finding a job.

You can read more about the job market of the Working in Kenya page.For more on different types of permit read the Visas for Kenya page.
