Finding work and somewhere to live and cost of living in Mombasa

Yvonne Jackson
#1
Hey, so l am planning to move to Mombasa next year.聽 I have registered with different employment agencies in Kenya/Mombasa, but was wondering if there is any other way l can look for work from the UK.

Also, is there a website that l can look for somewhere to live and what is the average monthly rent.

Can you let me have information on cost of living, food, rent, utilities, health insurance, taxes etc

I will be in Mombasa February and March, so if possible l can research while l am there.

Thank you

Yvonne

To work in Kenya you must have a work permit and these can only be applied for from your home country.聽 Work permits apply to volunteer and paid work.

It鈥檚 possibly a little early to search for housing, as even if you interview suceesfully for a job in Mombasa, you would be travelling home immediately to apply for the work permit and await processing, which can take a few months.
