Cityscape in Kenya

New to Kenya

If you have recently moved to Kenya, you may wish to meet with other Irish citizens who are part of a local organisation or business network that can provide you with general advice, information and guidance.

If you are planning on moving to Kenya we recommend that you do as much research as possible before arriving.

We recommend that Irish citizens intending to reside in Kenya register with the Department of Foreign Affairs' Citizen Registration facility. This is a quick and easy process which can be done online. The register can help the Embassy assist you in an unforeseen crisis and include you in events aimed at the Irish community in Kenya more generally.
