how do I start up in kenya even if I come in with a tourist visa, I have more than 1mill and would like to start a business, how do I go about it
There are many opportunities you can get in Kenya, but using a tourist visa in the process will complicate your situation more. First of all you will need to register your company from the Attorney generals office(foreigners need an advocates affidavit) or register of companies with your valid documentation(passport) including your visa. Due to terrorism background checks are very stringent, you will also have to get a KRA pin certificate(for filing tax returns). If its a company you will be given a certificate of incorporation, you also be required to apply for a business permit from the county government. Those are some of the basic requirements.

Maybe...! Surebet247 is licensed in that your Kenya - I guess you know what that means for your economy as whole. You still maintain that he doesn't impact your daily life? Tax payers money aren't used to develop roads and other social amenities in your country? You don't make use of the roads built with tax payers money in your country? Please check the statememt again grin

That right there should also do wink
Your ignorance is just worse than appalling..... I have never heard a Kenyan, South African or even an Egyptian suggesting of immigrating to Nigeria!
Why is it that all Nationalities have a huge interest in Kenya? Most probably because it provides opportunities and has the most basic infrastructure that Nigeria lacks. Malindi town, Kenya has the biggest population of Italians in Africa, Mombasa city has the diverse races of nationals from the globe. Thousands of Chinese workers in Kenyan roads & rail sector, millions of Somalis who have grown up in Kenya, hundreds of South Sudanese who have found refuge in Eldoret Town, thousands of Ethiopians in Wajir town doing business, hundreds of Nigerians doing legitimate business. What makes you think all this millions of Africans find Kenya as their safe haven. Food for thought!!!
TravelRe: Enquiry About Uganda. by Kenyanstar: 7:52am On Oct 29, 2016
My opinion will be you can take a flight to Nairobi Kenya, the last time i remember Nigerians get their entry visa at point of entry. When you arrive at the airport JKIA(Jomo Kenyatta airport) you can request a taxi to drop you at Kampala Coach a bus company that will take you directly to Kampala. Its a journey that will take you less than 12 hrs. As long as your documents are valid you wont face any hurdles until Kampala. It costs roughly/utmost N12000 via road.

Hello,

I have a two week holiday in November and I'd love to visit Uganda during the period.

However, flights seem to be a bit costly at the moment.

Is there a road route?.

I found a terrific flight offer from douala, cameroon to Entebbe, Uganda but I am being told that the border crossing into Cameroon is very dangerous.

I intend to travel with a valid means of travel (international passport, yellow card) .

My opinion will be you can take a flight to Nairobi Kenya, the last time i remember Nigerians get their entry visa at point of entry. When you arrive at the airport JKIA(Jomo Kenyatta airport) you can request a taxi to drop you at Kampala Coach a bus company that will take you directly to Kampala. Its a journey that will take you less than 12 hrs. As long as your documents are valid you wont face any hurdles until Kampala. It costs roughly/utmost N12000 via road.

Would appreciate any one with an insight.


Thanks

huhhuhhuhhuh??

In terms of infrastructure, yea I agree that some African countries are ahead, but that alone does not qualify a country as a "developed" country.

What is too hard to understand in this? huh

And besides, how many places have you been to in Nigeria to know that Nigeeia has poor infrasteivture as a whole.

PS
The power problem in Nigeria is shameful tho.
NIGERIA- 923,768 sq. km
-The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Raji Fahola (SAN), lamented the poor infrastructural deficit in the country, saying that the country only constructed about 28,980km out of the 193,200km total length of her road network since 55 years of its independence.

KENYA - 581,309 km2 sq km
-According to the Kenya Roads Board, Kenya has 160,886 kilometres of roads. 13,900 kilometres of this are tarmacked. The current administration is doing an ambitious plan of linking its modern SGR railway to its new construction of 8000km of new roads pushing the total road network to over 20,000km.

Despite Nigeria being twice the size of Kenya with a population of 180m it has far fewer tarmacked roads to the ration of Kenya and its population of 45m.

how can I come to Kenya to do a descent work, irrespective of the type, what do kenyas love that is foreign and imported so I can start a business there,also if any work can do there,am a law graduate, thanks in advance
There are many jobs that can be done in Kenya especially in SME (Small medium enterprises)..... basically it involves various business niche and importation of various products especially on electronics and mobile phones and accessories. This are the sectors that have not been fully exploited to its potential. In matters law it will be difficult since you have to be a graduate of the Nairobi school of law in order to be admitted into the bar.

your posts stinks of numerous problems that Nigeria is facing today, Kenya may not be developed but for mere fact of having 24hrs electricity which nigeria cannot achieve as a failed country should shows a huge gap in distance by a mile, common popular subway and good roods ,we don't have, go to maitama, lekki, via those big sides in Nigeria, tell me what's special about them, are they finer than pics we see here.. the rich men living in those high brow areas only know how to build high fences to hide their houses due to poor security in Nigeria.. please swerve to one side.there are African countries doing well than Nigeria
The problems with Nigeria and Nigerians is that they still live in utopia and the general lie that they are the giant of Africa.... Let me give you the example of our own Wind Turbine electricity generation in Ngong hills. It produces 25.5 Megawatts of electricity. 1 megawatt of electricity produced by 1 turbine can light 1000 homes. So the ngong hills power supply can power 25,000 homes. Its just that Nigerian leaders are into looting more than helping its citizenry.

3. They are the most decorated club in Kenya in terms of silverware and tie in number with their arch-rivals AFC leopards.
4. It enjoys patronage from all sectors of the society.

Kenya has its own innovative products that have won global awards....

Tele-communacation sector
M-PESA- THis is a mobile banking system that is owned by a company safaricom, which is Kenyan owned and the most profitable telecom firm in East and central Africa. Its innovation has sparked curiosity among IT companies across the globe. It has Incorporated all financial institutions both banking and non banking firms.
Agricultural sector- Agriculture is one of the main Kenyan economic activities. The main areas that are leading in agriculture are poultry and dairy exports. Kenyan research institutions(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture, Egerton University) have manged to produce certain breeds that are unique to Kenya and its environment. This has facilitated Kenyan farmers to be able to be the top poultry and dairy products to the GULF states and even Dangonte is in the process of establishing a dairy company in Kenya to export to Nigeria powdered milk.

Nigeria Population- 180m

Poverty rates
Nigeria- Poverty has risen in Nigeria, with almost 100 million people living on less than a $1 (£0.63) a day, despite economic growth, statistics have shown. The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in 2004 to almost 70% in 2015.

Kenya- Poverty headcount ratio at $1.90 a day (2011 PPP) 42% of Kenyans live below the poverty, Kenya is a country of many contrasts, from its landscape to demographics, and more so its social and economic inequalities. Forty two percent of its population of 44 million, live below the poverty line.

Road Network

Nigeria- Total area 923,768 km2
Total: 194,394 km
paved: 60,068 km (including 1,194 km of expressways)
unpaved: 134,326 km
note: Some paved roads have lost their asphalt surface and are in very poor condition or have reverted to being gravel roads. Some of the road system is barely usable, especially in high rainfall areas of the south.

Kenya-Total area 582,650 sq km
Total:160,886 kilometres of roads.
Paved:13,900 kilometres of this are paved.

The genesis is that despite Nigeria being among the few African countries with the biggest oil and natural resources it has failed to use its revenues to benefit its people.

I have been to 13 universities across Africa and it is the same story. its not by fine buildings o, it's by substance.

Poverty is an international phenomenon and is not limited to certain continents nor countries.... Unemployment, slums and poverty go hand in hand and even the most developed country, America has its fair share of poverty.

KENYA AND NIGERIAN COMPARISON

AIR TRANSPORT

NIGERIA- Population-173m
Nigeria’s principal airports are Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Three other international airports are Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu and Port Harcourt International Airport in Port Harcourt. Overall, Nigeria’s airports, whether international or regional, suffer from a poor reputation for operational efficiency and safety. Private domestic air carriers began to win business at the expense of Nigeria Airways, the former government-owned national airline which was declared bankrupt in 2004. The national flag carrier of Nigeria was Air Nigeria, in which Virgin Atlantic owns 49% and the remaining 51% by Nigerian investors until Virgin withdrew from the partnership on September 18, 2009. The national flag carrier then became Air Nigeria which suspended operations in 2012. Arik Air is now a large airline serving Nigeria and has transported over 10 million passengers.

KENYA- Population-44m
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, is Kenya's largest airport and serves the most destinations. Some international flights go to Moi International Airport in Mombasa. Kisumu Airport was upgraded to an international airport in 2011 and a second phase of expansion is under way. In 2012, US Navy Seebees built a major new tarmac runway at Wajir Airport that can take heavy aircraft.
Kenya Airways Ltd., more commonly known as Kenya Airways, is the flag carrier of Kenya.[4] The company was founded in 1977, after the dissolution of East African Airways. The carrier's head office is located in Embakasi, Nairobi,[5] with its hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.[6]

The airline was wholly owned by the Government of Kenya until April 1995, and it was privatised in 1996, becoming the first African flag carrier to successfully do so.[7] Kenya Airways is currently a public-private partnership. The largest shareholder is the Government of Kenya (29.8.%), followed by KLM, which has a 26.73% stake in the company. The rest of the shares are held by private owners; shares are traded on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, and the Uganda Securities Exchange.[7][8]

Kenya Airways is considered one of the leading Sub-Saharan operators;[9] as of January 2013 and was ranked fourth among the top ten African airlines by seat capacity, behind South African Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and EgyptAir.[10] The airline became a full member of SkyTeam in June 2010, and is also a member of the African Airlines Association since 1977.
They have local domestic flights which include Jetlink, Fly540, KQ and Jambo jet.

KENYAN RAIL SYSTEM IN COMPARISON TO NIGERIA
-Kenya has one of the most ambitious rail system in sub-saharan Africa, the SGR(Standard gauge Rail)

NIGERIA- 3,984 kilometers of track

Railways in Nigeria are operated by the Nigerian Railway Corporation. Nigeria's rail system has 3,984 kilometers of track, most of which is Cape gauge. The country has two major rail lines: a western line that connects Lagos to Nguru, and an eastern line that connects Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. The Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway is being built in segments to replace the western Cape gauge line.

KENYA- 2,066 metre gauge kilometers of track & Standard gauge 800 kilometers of track
Kenya boasts of two railway tracks, the old and the new modern SGR standard gauge Railway line which is 90% complete.
Kenya-Uganda railway- The former Uganda Railway, was run by the company East African Railways. It jointly served the present countries of Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. Since the dissolution of the EAR corporation in 1977, the national company Kenya Railways Corporation runs the former Uganda Railway and its branches in Kenya. The most important line in the country runs between the port of Mombasa and Nairobi, sleeping car accommodation is offered for tourists.

In 2006, the Rift Valley Railways Consortium led by South African companies took over the operation of the Kenyan and Ugandan railway network on a contract lasting 25 years, with the opportunity of renewal. After criticism from the Kenya Railways Corporation, RVR doubled the frequency of service, and also imposed restrictions to reduce train derailments caused by the ageing infrastructure.[5]

RVR run passenger trains within Kenya only, primarily from Nairobi to Mombasa but also to local towns such as Kisumu. Passenger services on these lines are offered on peak periods only. Freight services are the bulk of RVR's operations.

In 2008, agreements were made with Uganda about gauge standardisation.
The Mombasa-Nairobi SGR is the biggest infrastructure project in Kenya since independence. It will shorten the passenger travel time from Mombasa to Nairobi from more than ten hours to a little more than four hours. Freight trains will complete the journey in less than eight hours.The Class 1 line will have a superior design catering to robust and low-maintenance requirement. The new line will run parallel to the existing meter gauge railway and the Mombasa-Nairobi Road or A109 Highway for the most part. It will deviate at certain points to attain the desired gradient and curvature.The freight terminals will be located at the Mombasa port and the Inland Container Depots at Embakasi in Nairobi. The railway line is designed to carry 22 million tonnes a year of cargo or a projected 40% of Mombasa Port throughput by 2035.

One thing i have noticed with Nigerians and their bloggers in particular is the tendency to malign other progressive & emerging African countries in order to sooth their ego. It started with South Africa, Ghana and now Kenya by producing negative and propagated gutter news to paint a grim picture of this countries. The question that always remains is if this countries are the way you Nigerians seem to insinuate why are thousands of your citizenry going to them in their thousands. Why should you be jealous of the progress that other countries have made or making. Why dont you start by improving your countries social-economic aspects to match up to this three African giants. Nigeria has the biggest GDP but little goes to change the social life of commoners. What is the need of being the 8th biggest oil producer but no effects to its citizens. All that natural gas but cannot be converted into energy to light up the country is pure mediocrity. Kenya has converted natural resources to light up the national grid by using hydro electricity, wind power, Geo-thermal and solar to its benefits.

NIGERIA ITS TIME TO STOP HATING AND START WORKING!!!!
