What Is a Dependant’s Pass in Kenya?

A Dependant’s Pass allows the legally recognized dependants of a foreign national such as a spouse, children under 18, or other approved dependants to live in Kenya while the primary permit holder works, runs a business, or invests in the country.

If you are an expat in Kenya with a valid work permit or investor permit, your family can join you legally and stay without interruptions, provided your application is handled correctly.
