You MUST depend on someone for several months here yet nobody wants unnecessary burden and extra expense! I now see a reason why most immigrants are under depression and some commit suicide cos here you begin from ZERO.

2.When you get a mail confirming that you have been booked, don't forget to reply the mail and confirm that you will make it on the day that you are scheduled.

3.Print out the letter of confirmation of your booking and your 2nd nl and go with them.

4.IOM is next door after Tara Suites in Gigiri

5.Even if you go on the first day before payment, they will work on you and pay later.

6.Ladies if you took photos with hair covering part of your forehead, they will be rejected and you will be forced to go and take new ones from village market , a place which is very expensive in everything.

7.if you have kids 2 years to 15, book either, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday, those are the days they do the TB skin tests.

8.For the guys, put in an undershot else you will strip up to you underpants for you to be examined.

9.If you have previous vaccination records, go with them, if they ask you whether you have ever suffered from chicken pox answer in positive so that you save your self from the varicella vaccine which is very expensive and so painful.

10.Kids have to get pneumonia vaccines, these can be got from gov't health facilities at no cost.

11. prepare enough money for the exercise.

12.The cost of the initial medicals assessment will be USD 138 for adults while a child (below 15 Yrs) is USD 105. In addition to the above flat fee, the additional charges for vaccination will depend on what the panel physician will determine i.e. given your age, sex, medical history, current medical condition, previous vaccinations and etc. It ranges between USD112 to USD294.

13. All payments are made at the Commercial Bank of Africa, and can be made either in Kenya shillings or US dollars.Village Market Branch is preferred though me I used the one in central Nairobi.

14.Escort is not allowed unless the applicant is a minor or needs assistance in mobility issue and/or other health conditions. NB:not more than one escort is not allowed.

15. Telephone numbers for medical appointment bookings are as follows: 0731 - 974031, 0734 - 860686, You can also book via e-mail on iomnbomedical@iom.int

16. For information concerning your medical results or reports please call 0734-860682

17. If the doctor does not require further tests after your exam, you will be given your CXR film on the same day while the medical report including your vaccination certificate will be sent to the embassy the following day. In the event further tests are required, the doctors will advise you when to collect your CXR film

18.It is wise book an appointment at least two weeks PRIOR to your appointment with the embassy, if not earlier.

19. PARKING is not allowed neither INSIDE nor outside THE CLINIC. Consequently Drop off/ pick up is permitted.


20.Do not forget to share your experience after.
I wish you the best
