Frequently asked questions
Does Kenya have a digital nomad visa?
Kenya's immigration authority lists a Class N Digital Nomads permit for eligible people working remotely in Kenya for a company registered outside Kenya, conducting business for a foreign company, or serving clients outside Kenya. It lists one- or two-year permits, subject to an application and eligibility review. We assess this route alongside other appropriate stay options.
What is the tech scene like in Nairobi?
Nairobi is home to Silicon Savannah, Africa's leading tech cluster. iHub, Westlands, and Karen host numerous coworking spaces, accelerators, and VC-backed startups. Nairobi has strong fibre broadband in most business districts, though internet reliability can vary in residential areas.
Can I open an M-Pesa or Kenyan bank account as a foreigner?
Yes. Foreign residents with a valid Kenyan ID or work permit can open a standard Kenyan bank account. M-Pesa (mobile money) is accessible to foreigners with a Kenyan SIM and passport. We advise on international digital banking options that work well in Nairobi for nomads on short-term visas.
