Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a work permit take to process?
Processing time varies by permit class, supporting documents and Directorate workload. Applications are submitted through eFNS, and we provide a current estimate after reviewing the proposed activity and sponsor documents.
Can my family join me in Kenya on my work permit?
Yes — dependants (spouse and children) can apply for a Dependant Pass once you have a valid work permit.
I overstayed my visa — what do I do?
Contact us immediately. We can assist with regularisation before enforcement action is taken.
