Hello all,

Looking at accepting a job offer from the company in Nairobi.

How much does expat couple without kids needs to live in Nairobi if accommodation and transportation is taken care of?

Thanking you in advance,
Serge

Dear Srdjanza,
i hope you are well,
This will depend on your personal preferences and especially spending habits,
Considering the housing and transport is already taken care of, food is generally cheap in Nairobi and so is entertainment( again depends on your preferences and spending habits)

As long as your employer acquires and pays for the work permit on your behalf.

They are a wide range of furnished apartments to choose from. To reduce costs I would opt for accommodation that is closer to your work place and within reach of necessary amenities such as shopping and health. I would approximate for a comfortable lifestyle an average of at least $2500 per month assuming your wife would have a dependents pass and would not be working.
