This is the country of permanent residence.
It is the country in which a person has or is deemed by law to have a permanent home.
Kenyan law on domicile is contained in the Law of Domicile Act, Cap 37.
Under the provisions of this Act there are three types of domicile namely:
(a) Domicile of origin: this is the domicile a person acquires at birth for example, a
legitimate infant acquires the father's domicile while an illegitimate infant acquires
the mothers domicile.
(b) Domicile of dependence: this is the domicile of dependants. The domicile of
the dependant changes with that of the other person for example, the domicile of an
adopter infant depends on that of the adopter while that of an illegitimate infant
depends on that of the mother.
(c) Domicile of choice: this is the domicile a person acquires by choice.
Everyperson of sound mind, who is not a minor has capacity to acquire a
domicile of choice by:
(i) Taking up residence in the country of choice.
(ii)Having an intention to make the country his permanent home.
