I have 3 adult handicapped adult children in their mid 20's who live with me. How can I get a visa to live in Kenya with them. I am retirement age. I will be helping with a small church in Kenya. I want to know what are my options.

It would be tough, particularly if you need to access any services and in particular medical care which can be very expensive.

There is a permit. Class I: (Approved religious or charitable activities). May be worth a look online to see whether you'd qualify for this. Otherwise it would have to be a Class K permit for which you need to have $24,000 pa income from sources other than work (so pension, property rental, investment income and so on). It is quite costly at Ksh 100,000 per year, usually paid for on a 2 yearly cycle.

If you are successful in obtaining a permit, your children would be dependent and there is a Dependent Pass, which would have to be applied for.
