The Belgian embassy is a diplomatic mission in Kenya consisting of a number of Belgians who represent the country of Belgium in an official capacity in Kenya. The person in charge of a diplomatic mission is referred to as an ambassador.
Belgians who have relocated to Kenya can seek any kind of assistance from the embassy of Belgium in Nairobi. Kenyans who are also willing to travel to Belgium also go to the Belgium embassy offices in Nairobi to get their visas and other necessary travel documents.
Contrary to popular belief, the Embassy of Belgium like all other embassies found in Kenya is not a sovereign territory of Belgium, and as such it does not enjoy full extraterritorial favors. The Belgium Embassy grounds remain under the jurisdiction of Kenya. However, the Belgium embassy in Kenya is afforded special privileges exempted from most Kenyan local laws. The diplomats and ambassadors in Kenya, however, are accorded full diplomatic immunity. This being the case, the host country, say Kenya cannot enter the premises of the Embassy of Belgium without permission.
