State Department for Diaspora Affairs · sources read 3 Oct 2026
Contact the Diaspora Investment Support Office (DISO) at info@diso.go.ke or its Upper Hill, Nairobi office. It advises diaspora investors on opportunities, legal steps and incentives, links you to counties and businesses, and helps if an investment runs into trouble.
- Fee
- We couldn't confirm a fee from the official page. Check it there before you pay.
- Where
- Diaspora Investment Support Office, UAP Old Mutual, Upper Hill Road, Nairobi, or by email to info@diso.go.ke
Steps
- Email info@diso.go.ke or visit the office at UAP Old Mutual, Upper Hill Road, Nairobi.
- Ask for information and advice on investment sectors, legal requirements, business setup and government incentives.
- Ask DISO to connect you with county governments, private companies or entrepreneurs with projects that fit you.
- If there is a problem later, go back to DISO for legal guidance, help with disputes and follow-up.
Watch out
- DISO exists partly because of past fraud against diaspora investors. Check deals with it before you send money.
- DISO is part of the State Department for Diaspora Affairs. For a formal investment certificate as a foreign investor, that is Invest Kenya (KenInvest), a separate service.
Who can apply
