Kenya Introduces Digital Nomad Visa

Kenya has officially joined the digital nomad movement! With its new Digital Nomad Visa, the country invites remote workers to live and work amidst its breathtaking wildlife and stunning scenery.

For those unfamiliar with Kenya and wondering about the perks for digital nomads, here’s why it’s an incredible choice:

  • Coworking communities: From bustling Nairobi to serene Diani Beach, coworking spaces with vibrant communities are thriving across Kenya.

  • Affordable lifestyle: Enjoy a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle for a fraction of the cost of major global cities.

  • Networking opportunities: Kenya’s growing tech scene is perfect for connecting with remote workers from around the world.

Also, who can say no to weekends exploring iconic destinations like Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Park?

Eligibility Requirements for Kenya’s Digital Nomad Visa

To apply, you’ll need:

  • A valid passport

  • Proof of remote work outside of Kenya

  • Proof of accommodation within Kenya

  • A clean criminal record

  • Financial documentation showing income stability

  • Health insurance coverage

The minimum annual income requirement for this visa is approximately $53,922, according to Euronews. One of the most attractive features of Kenya’s visa is that it does not impose local tax obligations on remote workers.

Interested applicants can check Kenya’s Directorate of Immigration Services website for the latest updates.

Kenya isn’t the only African country embracing remote work! Other nations offering digital nomad visas include South Africa, Mauritius, Cape Verde, Seychelles, and Namibia.

Whether you’re looking for fresh inspiration, a new adventure, or the perfect work-life balance, Kenya seems to offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience for remote workers.
