Building bridges between Kenya and the UAE
OWAID was founded on a simple premise: Moving abroad shouldn't mean leaving clarity behind. We provide the research, documentation support, and banking pathways you need to thrive.
More than just a consultancy
Navigating the financial and legal landscape of the UAE can be daunting, especially when trying to maintain strong ties with home. We identified a gap in the market where hardworking Kenyans were underserved by generic solutions that didn't account for their unique cross-border needs.
At OWAID, we combine local UAE expertise with a deep understanding of the Kenyan market. As your official representative before government authorities, we handle comprehensive PRO services including visa processing, government liaison with MOHRE, DED, GDRFA, Tasheel, and Amer, company formation, and legal compliance. We ensure smooth business operations by overcoming regulatory challenges and handling critical administrative and legal processes on your behalf.
"Our goal is to remove the friction from your financial and professional life in the UAE, so you can focus on growth."
We don't just process paperwork; we build relationships. Every consultation is treated with confidentiality, precision, and a genuine desire to see our community succeed.
