Hi all,

my name is Samantha and I live in Germany. I am hoping to some day either:
- work for a remote company and live in Kenya during that time (meaning my employer would not be in Kenya)
- get an expat job in Kenya
- work in home office from Kenya for an international company that also has an office in Kenya


Do you know what needs to be considered for this to be allowed? I read about class K visa that might help for the first scenario I described, however it seems that that visa is only for people older than 35.

Could you help direct me to sources where I can learn more about this?

Thanks in advance! :)


@Great2022
Welcome.let me.know if you need any assistance with the work visas.
