A national official will sometimes issue a card to a foreign-born resident of a country to prove that they are who they say they are, even though they were not born there. This is known as an “alien card.” There are a variety of names for the alien card, including the green card, permanent visa, permanent resident card, and others.
An alien card in Kenya serves primarily as an identification card for foreigners who have resided in the country for at least three months. This card can be obtained from the eFNS portal Kenya, where FNS Kenya stands for Foreign National Service (FNS).
