I'm planning on moving to central Kenya in September, 2009. I will be moving with my girl friend who will be conducting research for her PhD. We plan on being in Kenya for 1.5 years.

We already have housing figured out, but I'm looking for advice on obtaining a visa that will allow me to stay in the country for as long as possible.

Also, I would appreciate some advice on working in Kenya. I am an engineer and have already made a few contacts but would appreciate some info on the feasibility of obtaining a work permit, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Hello i am looking to move to Kenya too as my girlfriend currently lives there in Mombasa. We are planning to marry around June 2009 and i'm visiting her in February marriage is the easiest way to get hold of a visa to stay there. If u marry your girlfriend in Kenya u will obtain a visa which allows u to stay. Work permits are tricky. The best hope is to look out for work while in Kenya after getting a visa sorted. Then u should get a permit. Work is hard to get there though so i wish u good luck :)
