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
