About
Kenya → UK helps Kenyans understand the legal routes to the United Kingdom — studying, working, joining family, or visiting — in plain language. What we are: free, practical education built around the official UK rules. What we are NOT: a law firm, an immigration agent, or a visa 'fixer'. Nothing here is legal advice, and we will never ask you to pay us for a visa or promise you an outcome. Always confirm the current rules and fees on the official UK government sources below before you apply or pay anyone. The genuine UK visa service for Kenya runs through GOV.UK and the official visa application centre — not through agents who message you privately or 'guarantee' approval. Beware of scams: no real UK visa is sold through WhatsApp brokers, 'guaranteed' offers, or upfront 'processing' payments to personal accounts. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
