A Dependent Pass allows the spouse and children of a valid work permit or residence permit holder to legally reside in Kenya. We support expatriate families by assisting with the application, processing, and renewal of dependent passes to ensure smooth relocation and lawful stay.

Who Is Eligible for a Dependent Pass?

A dependent pass may be issued to:

• A legally recognized spouse
• Children under 18 years of age
• Adopted children under the care of the principal permit holder

Our Assistance Covers:

• Eligibility assessment and guidance
• Preparation and submission of applications
• Document verification and compliance checks
• Follow-up with immigration authorities
• Renewal and extension assistance where required

Important Notes for Applicants

• Dependent Pass holders are not permitted to work in Kenya unless they separately apply for a Work Permit.
• The application must be linked to the principal permit holder’s status.
• Applications should be submitted early to avoid lapse of lawful stay.
