Hi,

Please bear in mind that the single entry visa to Kenya does not permit you to work, either in a paid, or voluntary capacity.  It is (usually) valid for 3 months and can be extended for a further 3 months without leaving Kenya.  After 6 months, you must leave the country, then return, to renew the visa.

To work here, you will need to secure employment, then your employer applies for a work permit, which will be valid for two years.  The ethos of the government is that expats should only occupy posts until a local person can be trained to do that particular job.  It doesn't necessarily work quite like that though.  The security industry is huge here, but I don't know much about job opportunities for expats.

If you were thinking of setting up a company, you need $100,000 minimum capital to be able to apply for an investors work permit.  If you are going into the security industry, you would be entering a crowded marketplace.

The process of getting a job and application for a work permit can take over 6 months and you have no right to remain in Kenya beyond the validity of your visa, when an application is pending.

Good luck!

thanks dears for your info i hope everything going to be good with me
see in Nairobi

Kenya is really advancing in technology in the recent and so there are many people who are seeking the kind of services you can offer. What you need to work on is really identifying your target market and also involve a marketer.

While I agree that identifying your market is very important, the main challenge (for a foreigner) of doing business in Kenya are the immigration regulations. Although you would be able to register a company without a work permit, you would be unable to legally work with in it, unless you have a work permit.

One answer might be to partner with a Kenyan, but as your partner would be operating the company, pending any work permit application, it would have to be someone who you can trust completely.
