Branch Registration Support
Advisory support for registering a Kenyan branch of a foreign company.
What Makes This Hard
Representative's Status Overlooked
Companies often focus on the branch registration paperwork itself and only address the local representative's immigration status as an afterthought.
Parent Company Documentation Gaps
Branch registration frequently stalls on parent company documentation that hasn't been authenticated to the standard Kenyan authorities require.
Overview
Registering a Kenyan branch of a foreign company carries its own immigration considerations, particularly around who can be appointed as a local representative and what status they require.
Who It's For
- Foreign companies registering a Kenyan branch.
- Companies appointing a local representative for a branch office.
