Immigration has, again, increased its efforts to track down foreigners that have not registered for their Foreign National Certificates (Alien ID)/ found holding EXPIRED Alien ID Cards. This is part of a nationwide scheme to increase security in the country. Foreigners will be stopped at random in public places and business premises will also be visited. Foreigners found with no proof of registration (Waiting Card)/ found with expired Alien ID's will be subject to hefty fines and/ or arrest.
Carry your Alien ID Card or Waiting Card with you at all times. In the likely case that your Immigration Agent is holding your original Waiting Card in order to follow up on your Alien ID Card, walk around with a CLEAR photocopy of the Waiting Card as well as a CLEAR copy of the receipt for payment of Registration.
Have a legal Tuesday

STRICT ENFORCEMENT FOR FOREIGN NATIONAL CERTIFICATE APPLICATION
Hi Becky would appreciate some advice from you if possible. I am married to a Kenyan lady for the last 18 years. we have 3 sons, all of whom have dual citizenship ( Irish/kenyan, as indeed does my wife). i want to apply for Kenyan citizenship through marriage. Do you have any experience in this particular area? we lived in Kampala for 20+ years and we all moved to Mombasa in July 2014. I do 'legally reside in Kenya' as I commute to UG every month and I come in on a visitors visa when I enter. i have asked at immigration a couple of times in Mombasa but no ones seems to actually know the process. any advice will be greatly appreciated.
