Class K permit

Hi,
Can anyone clarify how much a class K permit costs.  I have applied paying 10.5k Ksh and have been told that is for the application.  There is a further 100k Ksh to be paid annually after approval.

Hi. The class k permit is issued for a period of three years at a time. So the issuance fee you will pay for that duration is 300,000 ksh

No it is generally issued on a two year cycle at Ksh 100,000 per year, so on approval you will be required to pay Ksh 200,000 immediately - a per year payment is not accepted. 

The 10.5k is the non refundable admin fee.
