To get a job here, you need to get a visa that will give you the right to work and live in Kenya. The Migration Service can issue such a visa, but it is not easy to get.
It’s all about the popularity of the state. According to official data, more than 40 thousand foreigners are waiting in line to receive a Kenyan work visa.
Most Russian citizens work in Kenya without a work visa. They also do not have a residence permit in this country. They do not need to obtain these documents. Russians have the right to leave for neighboring countries with the condition of returning every 90 days. If this condition is not met at least once, a Russian citizen will have to pay a fine when crossing the Kenyan border.
Kenya willingly accepts foreigners for work, since the unemployment rate among local residents is 45%.
Among the Russians who come here to work, there are those who find employment in international corporations, such as Coca-Cola. Most of them go to Nairobi to earn money.
