Did you know that dual citizenship in Kenya comes with important legal obligations?

For example:
❓Must you declare your second citizenship?
❓Can you still hold public office?
❓How does dual citizenship affect your property, taxes, inheritance, employment, or children born abroad?
❓What changed after the 𝑁𝑑𝑒𝑔𝑤𝑎 𝑣 𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑦 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 decision?

These are questions every dual citizen, and every family with loved ones abroad should understand.

Our latest Regulatory Alert breaks down what the law says, what has changed, and the practical steps you should take to remain compliant.

Thinking marriage automatically gives you Kenyan citizenship? Think again.

If you're married to a Kenyan citizen, it's important to understand that marriage alone does not automatically qualify you for Kenyan citizenship or permanent residence.

One key legal requirement that's often overlooked is that the foreign spouse must first hold valid immigration residence status in Kenya. Missing this step could result in your application being declined.

🎥 Watch the video to learn what the law requires before you begin your application.

Have questions about relocating to Kenya, residency, work permits, or citizenship? Leave them in the comments or contact our Immigration & Global Mobility Practice Group at [email protected] for tailored legal guidance.

📤 Share this with anyone planning to move to Kenya or apply for Kenyan citizenship through marriage; it could help them avoid common mistakes.

In honour of 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we asked some fathers at CM Advocates, LLP to pick a question and share a little bit about fatherhood: the lessons and what matters most.

Their answers remind us that fatherhood is a journey of love, learning, patience, sacrifice, and joy.

To all fathers and father figures, thank you for the guidance, strength, humour, quiet sacrifices, and heart you bring into the lives of those around you.
