Immigration Bond

Pioneer Insurance Immigration Bond is a financial guarantee issued to the Department of Immigration to facilitate the processing and approval of work permits and residency status for foreign nationals in Kenya. Carrying the tagline "Welcome to Kenya The Land of Safari and Business", this bond serves as an official guarantee of payment (typically KSH 100,000) to the Kenyan Government to satisfy security requirements in the unlikely event deportation becomes necessary.

What is Immigration Bond?

The Immigration Bond in Kenya is a guarantee of payment to the government, typically KSH 100,000, as security in case deportation is necessary.
It is issued to the immigration department for processing work permits for self-employed Non-Kenyan residents and dependents who are not Kenyan Nationals. ​ The cost of the bond is KSH 2,500 per year plus levies, subject to a completed proposal form and policy terms and conditions.
  • Statutory Compliance Guarantee – Meets the official KSH 100,000 security guarantee required by the Kenya Department of Immigration.
  • Capital Preservation – Avoids tying up KSH 100,000 in cash deposits with immigration authorities by substituting it with a low-cost annual bond.
