Hi there!
My fiancee (Indian national) is moving to Nairobi in January and has an employment VISA secured. I am of course wanting to join him in February/March, thus I am starting to research exactly what is required for me to get there and also secure employment! I am a British national. I have many, many questions so if anyone could help me with them it would be much appreciated.
Firstly - the most pressing question - do I need to secure employment before I get there, or can I go and find employment while there?
Any help much appreciated!

Thank you!
Also some other questions folks -
If I am married, can I go with my husband on his work Visa to Kenya? I understand I would not be eligible to work in Kenya if I did this?

Greetings and welcome.
Without a work permit you cannot legally work in Kenya.
You may visit on dependency or tourist visa.
What kind of work are you looking for, maybe I can help.
