Hi again

I hope to come over from Brazil to Kenya (mombasa) in may next year (one quick stop in Sweden) and I (if I have this right) can be in Kenya for 3 month and 3 months more on a turist visa but during this time i hope to apply for this class k permit at immigrations.

I moved your topic to the Kenya forum for better visibility

Good luck

I have posted the following about the Class K permit.  This is not a 'work' permit, as work is prohibited - you have to prove that you can sustain yourself via other sources of income.  Unfortunately, I am unable to find how much the 'presecribed amount' actually is.


Class K: A person who:

(a) is not less than 21 years of age; and

(b) has in his own right and at his full and free disposition assured annual income of not less than the prescribed amount being an income that is assured, and that is derived from sources other than any such employment, occupation, trade, business or profession as is referred to in the description of any of the classes specified in this Schedule, and being an income that either

(i) is derived from sources outside, and will be remitted to Kenya; or

(ii) is derived from property situated, or a pension or annuity payable from, sources in Kenya; or

(iii) will be derived from a sufficient investment capital to produce such assured income that will be brought into and invested in Kenya; and

(c) undertakes not to accept paid employment of any kind should be he be granted an Entry Permit of this class, and whose presence in Kenya will be of benefit to Kenya.
