I need some help please. I have applied for a visa and been granted it, but I inadvertently got the birthdate incorrect on the application. I see no way in the new system to edit or resubmit the existing application. Do I have to start again? If I do that won’t there be a problem since I already have been issued one visa for the November travel dates??
I don’t see any FAQ’s or anywhere that I can send an inquiry to about my question on the official site.
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering whether you are able to answer a question.
i thought as a dependant resident in Kenya, complete with the passport page with a R- 7 digits etc. that a visa to re-enter Kenya from a trip back to Canada was not required.
Worried that I have left it too late to get one in Canada if I do need one.
Wishing I found your site before, interesting reading even if some of it doesn’t really apply to my situation per se.

I am not sure I get your question but please note that as a dependent you MUST have a re-entry endorsement at the back of your page for you to re-enter without having to pay for a visa….without which you will need to pay for it

Let us wait a few days and see if it will be issued. If not you can redo. They may defer and ask you to upload the missing documents

Hi,
I’m a 35 year old non-Kenyan, living in the US and currently employed by a US company. The company does not have an office in Kenya and has no plans of opening one. They are happy for me to move to Kenya and work for them from there, while being paid by them. My questions are:
(1) Class K permit: While it appears that the Class K permit was designed for retirees looking to move to Kenya and live there, would it be in order for me to apply for a Class K permit? Are there people who have done this?
(2) Dependent’s pass for spouse: With a Class K permit for me, I presume that my wife should be eligible for a dependent’s pass? Does this allow a dependent to work or would they have to get their own work permit should they wish to work?
Thanks!

Class D is now mostly for retirees as you correctly put…..at 35 it’s not easy to get class K. Yes with class K your spouse can get a dependent pass which allows her to live in Kenya but not to work. She would need a work permit to work in Kenya.

Hi George, Thank you for posting all those useful information here.
I have a question about PR; I have been working and living in Kenya for the last 5.5 years now, i had married my wife( kenyan citizen) in August, 2014; my son (Kenya passport holder) was born in Kenya in 2014, and now he is 2.5 years old;
I want to know, do I qualify for the PR permit?
LikeLike
You need to be married for at least 3 years to a Kenyan. Your permit status at least 7 years. So based on those facts you don’t qualify now.

Do i need to comply both of the criteria or either of them?

You need to be seven to get Citizenship as well as 7 years under permits. It is PR that you can apply for if married to a Kenyan for three years

Dear George,
My aunt and I applied for Visas to KE on 11/04/2016. However, after submitting our applications we both realized that we had made errors on our applications. My mistakes were that I inadvertently omitted the reason for my visit and my itinerary only partially uploaded.
in my aunt’s case her dob is incorrect on the application. It says 07/14/1941 but it should be 07/16/2016. Her itinerary also was only partially uploaded.
Will our applications be rejected or is there someway we can have our applications edited and corrected?
I will be anxiously awaiting your helpful response.
Respectfully,
Arlene

Hello George, I was just as Arlene wondering about applications:
On the first application, the birth place written is correct, but the “birth country”, is written wrong. However, birth place is what exists in the passport. Birth country doesn’t show in the passport and in this form instead of birth country, current nationality has been written.
On the second application, just as Arlene, the reason for the touristical visit hasn’t been written. I don’t know how but it was missed. Is this able to repair/correct?
