@ Nyfara. Its first cock crow! Time to start your wonderful day. Arise for today is the day that the lord had made for you.

Sorry another question about police certificate. I live in Nairobi but work in another county for significant amounts of time over the last year. Do I need police certificates for both Nairobi and the other county?

If you lived for more than 6 months outside of your country(kenya), yes you need police certificate from the country you had lived too.

No, not quite. The instruction is if you've lived in any country outside of your country of nationality for 12 months or more, you need a PCC from that country. The 6 months requirement has to do with one's current country of residence.

The certificate is nationally covered.The 47 county we have in kenya do not issue regional police certificate;in anycase the processes done out of nairobi CID are all forwaded to CID HQ for final certificate issuance.Thanks

May I please be adviced on how to track progress of the DHL online? How long does it take to arrive and if any email used to enquire is available, please let me have it.

It takes on 4 days to receive your VISA although sometimes it can delay;My Interview was on Tuesday and recieved VISA on Friday and many have also shared the same.Just login in to account(used to register for DHL) once they send you will be able to track it.
