Disclaimer

1. This is general information

Nothing in the guides, articles, job pages or videos of JobsAbroad Kenya amounts to immigration, legal or financial advice. All of it is aimed at a broad readership and cannot take account of your own situation.

Your options depend on facts that we have no way of knowing: your occupation, age, qualifications, skills assessment, English test result and family circumstances. Treat the site as a way to learn and prepare, then confirm how the rules apply to you personally.

2. Decisions are not ours

An employer alone chooses who gets an interview and a job, and when work starts. The governments of Australia and New Zealand alone decide visa grants and timing. JobsAbroad Kenya has no say in either.

That is why nothing here is guaranteed. Applying through our site does not secure an interview, an offer, sponsorship or a visa, and the experience of another applicant, even one with your background, is no forecast of yours.

3. Our limits

We do not grant visas, and we are not a registered migration agent. When your circumstances are complex or the consequences of a mistake are serious, consult a professional who is qualified and authorised to give advice.

4. Check the official pages first

Each visa guide condenses government publications and shows an "as of" date. Fees, salary thresholds, occupation lists and other rules are liable to change at short notice, and a guide can be stale by the time you read it. Look at the current official pages before you lodge anything or pay anyone:

• Australia: Department of Home Affairs
• New Zealand: Immigration New Zealand

5. Documents only you can obtain in Kenya

Employers and visa officers can ask for papers that have to be obtained locally: a valid passport, a police certificate (the Certificate of Good Conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), in Kenya), certified copies of school, trade (KNEC or NITA) or degree certificates, or confirmation that a qualification is genuine. Several of these can take weeks. JobsAbroad Kenya neither issues nor handles them and cannot make them quicker. Ask the issuing office about current steps, costs and timing, and be wary of any person who offers to sell you a shortcut.

6. Wages and exchange rates

Job titles, duties, requirements and wages are supplied by employers and are subject to change. Wages are normally quoted in Australian or New Zealand dollars, hourly, weekly or yearly, and usually before tax. If a figure has been converted into your own currency, take it as a rough indication only. Base your decisions on the figures in a signed offer, and weigh them against living costs in the place where the job is, which differ greatly.

7. Four steps before you decide

1. Match the "as of" date on our guide against the official page.
2. Obtain the pay, hours and conditions from the employer in writing.
3. Keep copies of all documents and messages.
4. Do not deal with anyone who promises a certain job or visa.

8. External links

We have no control over government websites, YouTube, WhatsApp or social networks. The other sites we link to, Skills Assessment Australia (rpldirect.com.au), Build AI CV (buildaicv.com), Talent Tabloid (talenttabloid.com) and English test practice (practisenow.com), apply their own terms and privacy policies. Including a link does not mean we recommend the site.
