You need to get in touch with Kenya's immigration department, at the earliest opportunity, for purposes of getting a grace period within which you should leave Kenya. Your continued stay in the Country without the necessary immigration permit might lead to a permanent ban from entering Kenya and/or a fine or both. Our law firm is best placed to liaise with the immigration department on your behalf to regularize your exit from Kenya so that you are not banned permanently.
