Kenya Immigration
Residence Permits
For foreign nationals who wish to live in Kenya lawfully on a long-term basis without taking up local employment — including the Class K (Ordinary Resident) category for persons of independent means.
Who It's For
Ordinary residence in Kenya
The Class K permit is issued to a person who is not less than 35 years of age and who has, in their own right, an assured annual income — from sources other than local employment, trade or business — sufficient to support residence in Kenya without working locally. It is a common route for retirees, independent investors and persons with a stable income from abroad who wish to make Kenya their home.
