Nairobi’s real estate market is a beacon for international investors and expatriates seeking to own property in Kenya’s capital city. However, purchasing property as a foreigner in Kenya requires obtaining a Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) PIN and registering on Ardhisasa, the country’s online land management platform.
At Numa Real Estates KE, we pride ourselves on offering seamless assistance to our clients throughout the property acquisition process. Here’s how foreigners can meet these essential requirements.
- Obtaining a KRA PIN for Foreigners
A KRA PIN is necessary for any property transaction in Kenya. It is also used for tax-related processes.
What You Need
Valid Passport: A scanned copy of the bio-data page.
Proof of Residency: If applicable, this includes a valid visa, work permit, or residency permit.
Tax Agent or Representative: Foreigners may require a Kenyan tax representative to facilitate the application.
Application Process

If needed, nominate a tax representative.
- Upload Supporting Documents:

At Numa Real Estates KE, we guide our foreign clients through this process, ensuring they secure their KRA PIN quickly and without hassle.
