Hey, so l am planning to move to Mombasa next year. I have registered with different employment agencies in Kenya/Mombasa, but was wondering if there is any other way l can look for work from the UK.
Also, is there a website that l can look for somewhere to live and what is the average monthly rent.
Can you let me have information on cost of living, food, rent, utilities, health insurance, taxes etc
I will be in Mombasa February and March, so if possible l can research while l am there.
Thank you
Yvonne

To work in Kenya you must have a work permit and these can only be applied for from your home country. Work permits apply to volunteer and paid work.
It's possibly a little early to search for housing, as even if you interview suceesfully for a job in Mombasa, you would be travelling home immediately to apply for the work permit and await processing, which can take a few months.
