Moving to Botswana

The first months are full of paperwork and questions. This is where Kenyans who have already made the move would send you: permits, housing, schools, health and a community to belong to.

Your first months, in order

  1. 1

    Sort your permits

    Get guidance on work and residence permits from registered practitioners. Karibu267 is not an immigration agent.
