The consular desk
A passport question that actually gets answered
Most diaspora sites publish an email address and hope. Raise a request here and you get a reference number, a status you can check yourself, and a person who owns it until it closes.
01
Tell us what you need
Passport renewal, an emergency travel document, a visa extension you can't make sense of. One form, two minutes.
Raise a request02
Get a reference
Something like KCK-2026-0042, by email. Quote it to us, or look it up yourself at any hour without asking anyone.
Track a request03
Watch it move
In review, waiting on you, with the embassy, resolved. Every change is stamped with who made it and when.
How it worksWhat your visa actually lets you do
D-2, E-7, F-6 and the rest — written for Kenyans, with the document list, the extension route, and the date a volunteer last checked it against Korean immigration.
What the mission in Seoul can do for you
Passports, birth registration, affidavits, police clearance — each with what to bring, what it costs, how long it takes, and whether you need an appointment.
What's coming up
Events
Cultural gatherings, student meet-ups, sport, and the ones the embassy hosts.
Nothing on the calendar just yet
When the next gathering is set, it lands here — and registered members hear about it by email first.

Written by members, about members.

Community members write these. If you've got something to say about Kenyan life in Korea, we'd like to run it.

Survival guides
The 90-day ARC clock, the transfer limit nobody warns you about, and why everyone buys the long coat too late.
Why bother
It's free. Here's what it's actually for.
No fee, no subscription, no upsell. The register exists because a community that cannot count itself cannot organise, and because the consular desk needs to know who it is talking to.
- 01
A desk that answers
Raise a consular question and get a reference number, an owner, and a status you can check at 2am without asking anyone. That is the whole difference from an email address that goes nowhere.
- 02
Invitations before they're public
Events go to registered members first. For anything with limited places — a hall, a bus, a booking — that is the difference between going and hearing about it afterwards.
- 03
Someone from your county
The register makes the community findable. It is how a new arrival in Daegu discovers there are already four Kenyans there, and how someone from Kisii finds someone else from Kisii.
- 04
Guides written by people who got it wrong first
The 90-day ARC clock, the transfer limit that bounces your first remittance, the winter coat everybody buys too late. Free to read, better if you contribute.
Twende pamoja
1 person has joined so far. Registration is free and takes two minutes. It gets you event invitations before they go public, a tracked consular desk, and a community that knows what it's like to land at Incheon with two suitcases and no idea where to buy maize flour.
