if u r married in kenya, i presume u r marrying a kenyan. if thats the case you have equal rights as your spouse to live in kenya. if not you can still be renewing your current visa at your embassy before expiry as long as you dont have any criminal record in the country. Gd luck in your travel and stay

You say you are married "in Kenya" but you don't mention if you are married to a Kenya or not. That makes a difference. Until relatively recently, only females were allowed dependent passes -- that is no longer the case. If your spouse is a Kenya, then you can apply for permanent residence status. After 3 threes of being married to a Kenyan and living in Kenya, you can apply for citizenship. I suggest you go with your Kenyan spouse to immigrations with all your documentation and get started on either a dependent's pass (which will not allow you to work) or for permanent residence status (which will allow you to work).

If you want to hire a consultant to help you with these matters, I recommend Father Hand Ltd.

You have to have been married for three years to apply for permanent residence, at which point you will be permitted to work.聽 Until then the best option would be to go to immigration (Nyayo House, Nairobi - next to the main post office) and apply for a dependents pass.聽聽As the previous post points out; the above would only apply if you were married to a Kenyan citizen.
