That means you're not emailing an offshore call centre. You're working with someone who walks into the immigration office, inspects the apartment, and answers your WhatsApp the same day.
Typically 6–12 weeks from first consultation to landing, depending on country and permit class. Short-stay entries can be arranged in days; work and residence permits take longer. Your free consultation includes an exact timeline for your situation.
Core items: a passport valid 6+ months, yellow fever vaccination certificate, passport photos, and the visa or permit class matching your purpose — work, business, retirement, study or dependant. We build your full country-specific checklist and manage every submission.
Yes. We shortlist by video walkthrough, verify landlords and lease terms in person, and hand you keys on arrival. You never sign for a home you haven't seen inside.
Yes. Kenya offers a digital nomad work permit, and remote workers settle successfully in all three countries under the right permit class. We advise on the correct route for your income source and handle the application.
Expat families live comfortably across Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Kampala and the coast. Neighbourhood choice matters — we place clients only in areas we know personally and connect you with established communities and international schools.
Yes — and we encourage it. Our Taste & See visits are short scouting trips of 5–14 days: accommodation arranged, guided tours of the neighbourhoods you'd actually live in, school and business visits, and introductions on the ground. You experience the life first, then decide with certainty.
Yes — through country-specific routes. Kenya and Uganda allow foreign ownership on long leasehold terms (up to 99 years, with some land classes excluded), while Tanzania channels foreign ownership through investment structures, with additional options in Zanzibar. Many clients rent first, then transition to owning once they know where they want to root. We handle the due diligence, structure and conveyancing so the transition from lease to title deed is safe and clean.
Yes. We manage company registration, sector licensing, tax registration, bank onboarding and full KYC compliance in all three countries — whatever sector interests you, from hospitality and agribusiness to trade and tech. You arrive with a legal, bankable entity instead of spending your first months in queues.
Yes — our clients come from all over the world: the USA and Canada, Europe including Italy, Asia including China and Japan, Brazil and wider South America, and beyond. Visa requirements in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda vary by nationality, so every engagement begins with a check of your passport's specific route — then we build your plan around it.
Yes — we work primarily in English and Kiswahili, with Japanese-language document support for clients relocating from Japan. All official paperwork is prepared in the required official languages.
