What types of work permits do you handle?

We expertly handle all categories of Kenya work permits, including Class D (Specific Employment), Class G (Investors), Class I (Dependants), Special Passes, and Inter-Company Transfers. Furthermore, we assist with permit renewals, variations, and appeals. Consequently, our success rate exceeds 95% for properly documented applications.

How long does immigration processing take?

Generally, processing times are as follows: Work Permits: 4-8 weeks, Investor Permits: 2-3 months, Special Passes: 2-4 weeks, and Citizenship: 6-12 months. However, we provide real-time status updates via our secure client portal and expedite the process where possible.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes, absolutely! Secure virtual consultations are available via Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or phone for clients worldwide. In fact, the first consultation (30 minutes) is completely free. Our team serves clients across 15+ countries, with many matters handled entirely remotely. Booking is easy through our website or via WhatsApp at +254 798 035 580.

What payment options do you accept?

For your convenience, we accept various payment methods: Local: M-Pesa, Bank Transfer (KES); International: SWIFT Transfers (USD/EUR/GBP), Wise, PayPal; and Cards: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX. Additionally, we offer flexible payment plans for matters exceeding KES 200,000. All fees are quoted upfront with no hidden costs.

Business & Property Services

Can you help with company registration?

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive end-to-end company incorporation services, including: name reservation, Memorandum & Articles, BRS registration, KRA PIN/VAT, NSSF/NHIF registration, county business permits, and sector-specific licenses. Typically, foreign-owned companies can be fully registered within 2-3 weeks.

What industries do you specialize in?

Our core sectors of specialization include: Technology & Fintech, Telecommunications, Real Estate & Construction, Financial Services & Banking, Manufacturing, Renewable Energy & Mining, Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, NGOs & International Organizations, and Hospitality & Tourism.

Can foreigners buy property in Kenya?

Yes, foreigners can buy property, but with certain restrictions. Non-citizens can only acquire leasehold land (maximum 99 years), not freehold. We conduct thorough due diligence, including title searches, encumbrance checks, and survey verification. Moreover, we handle the entire conveyancing process from offer to registration.

Why choose WKA Advocates?

Notably, 80% of our clients are international — demonstrating deep understanding of cross-border needs. The firm boasts 10+ years of excellence in Kenyan law. Additionally, transparent pricing ensures no hidden fees. As a tech-enabled practice, secure client portals keep you informed. Finally, a 5-star Google rating reflects our proven track record of success.

Do you handle data protection compliance?

Yes, we are fully certified GDPR and Kenya Data Protection Act (KDPA) practitioners. We assist with: data protection policy drafting, DPO services, ODPC registration, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), cross-border data transfer agreements, and breach response management.

How do you handle disputes and litigation?

Our approach is highly strategic: 1) first, assess merits and advise on options, 2) then, attempt negotiation/mediation where appropriate, 3) alternatively, pursue arbitration (ICC, LCIA, NCIA) for commercial disputes, or 4) finally, litigate in Kenyan courts. Representation spans from the Commercial Court to the Supreme Court.
