Dependent Pass Application Services in Kenya
Foreign nationals holding valid work permits or investor permits in Kenya can apply for dependent passes for their immediate family members, including spouses and children under the age of 18. The dependent pass allows family members to reside in Kenya for the duration of the principal permit holder's immigration status.
LHK Advocates manages dependent pass applications through the Department of Immigration's eFNS portal, ensuring that all required documentation is properly prepared and submitted. We handle both initial applications and renewals, and we coordinate dependent pass applications with the principal work permit application to avoid delays.
The dependent pass does not authorize the holder to engage in employment in Kenya. If a spouse wishes to work, they must obtain their own separate work permit. We advise families on the full range of immigration options and ensure that each family member's status is appropriate for their planned activities in Kenya.
