Parent visa (Dependant pass)Parent visa (Dependant pass)

You and your child should prepare the required documents for the dependant’s pass application.

Your Kenyan child creates or signs in to an eCitizen account and uses the eFNS portal to fill in Form 28 for you and upload the required documents. Your child can start the application whether you are in Kenya or abroad.

Your child submits the application online and prints the completed form. The form can also be printed later from My Applications.

Your child waits for a decision notice in the eFNS account or by email and responds to any requests from Immigration. Approval alone does not let you reside under the pass; it must first be issued.

If the application is approved, your child opens Payments on the eFNS dashboard and pays the invoice using an available card or mobile-money method. If online payment is not possible, your child can take the printed invoice and a banker’s cheque to the Immigration counter at Nyayo House.

Your child signs the printed form and presents it with the supporting documents at Immigration headquarters in Nyayo House, Nairobi.

Wait for Immigration to issue your pass, and respond to any requests for more information or documents.

Once issued, you can use your pass to enter Kenya within the period stated on it or remain in Kenya while it is valid and its conditions are met. The pass does not give you permission to work.
