Sworn Affidavits for EU Skilled Workers

Navigating the Path to European Employment?

Seeking to work in Europe as a skilled professional from Kenya? A crucial step involves sworn affidavits for skilled worker employment in Europe. These legal documents are vital for verifying your qualifications and work experience to European immigration authorities. Without correctly drafted affidavits, your application could face significant delays or even rejection. This guide will illuminate the process, ensuring your application from Kenya is robust and professional.

Understanding Sworn Affidavits for European Employment Visas

For Kenyan citizens aiming for skilled employment in Europe, sworn affidavits are often a mandatory component of the visa application process. These are formal statements, usually made before a notary public or commissioner for oaths, attesting to the truth of certain facts. In the context of employment, they typically confirm your educational qualifications, professional certifications, and previous work experience. European countries require this to ensure that individuals meet the specific skill requirements for the jobs they are applying for. The accuracy and legal standing of these documents are paramount, making their proper drafting essential for a successful application from Kenya.

Cost and Practical Considerations for Kenyan Applicants

The cost of drafting sworn affidavits can vary. In Kenya, professional fees for such services typically range from KES 15,000 to KES 50,000, depending on the complexity and the number of documents required. This fee often covers the drafting, notarization, and any associated legal checks. It's crucial to budget for this expense as part of your overall relocation costs.
