Kenya's brand-new digital nomad permit, launched late 2024. A 1-year renewable permit aimed at high-earning remote workers ($55K+) who want Nairobi's tech scene (Silicon Savannah), the Indian Ocean coast, or safari country, with English as the universal working language.
Kenya's main route for foreign business investors. Put $100,000+ into a Kenyan operation, get a 2-year permit, and once you've kept it running for seven years, permanent residency opens up. Standard route for East African market entry.
