Immigration Compliance Services for Employers in Kenya
Employers in Kenya bear significant responsibility for the immigration status of their foreign employees. The Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act imposes penalties on employers who employ foreign nationals without valid work permits, including fines and criminal prosecution of company officers. Proactive immigration compliance is essential for any business employing expatriate staff.
LHK Advocates provides immigration compliance services for employers, including audits of existing foreign worker documentation, development of immigration compliance policies, management of work permit portfolios, and representation in the event of immigration enforcement action. We help employers maintain full compliance and avoid the disruption and penalties of enforcement.
Our compliance services cover the entire lifecycle of expatriate employment, from pre-hiring immigration assessment through work permit application, ongoing compliance monitoring, and exit procedures. We ensure that every foreign employee has valid and appropriate immigration status for their role and activities.
