Student Pass
Authorization for foreign nationals enrolled in Kenyan educational institutions.
What Makes This Hard
Applied For Too Close to Term Start
Student Pass applications submitted close to the academic term risk not being resolved before classes begin.
Institution Documentation Incomplete
Admission letters that don't meet the specific format authorities expect can slow the application unnecessarily.
