Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

The VP-2 Visitor's Pass is issued to a national of a country that is a member of a regional organisation or community with a free-visa arrangement, other than East African Community (EAC) citizens.

See recorded sources

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

VP-2 is a visitor's pass for citizens of regional blocs other than the EAC: work is not permitted under it, but change of status is allowed.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The page does not describe any worker, self-employed, student or other residence basis beyond this visitor pass.

What entry, registration or residence-document formalities remain?

Entry is through a border post, complying with border-post formalities and procedures; the VP-2 is a visa issued to a national of a country member of a regional organisation or community with free visa other than the East African Community, and its validity is agreed at community or organisational level.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The qualifying regional blocs are not listed in the cited sources.
  • No separate residence registration or residence document is stated for the pass; silence is not an explicit exemption.

Which non-member-country family members can accompany or join, and what broad rights do they receive?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which non-member family members can join and their rights.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the VP-2 panel of the DGIE visitors-visa page (both captures): no dependants/family provision; the "Dependents: Not allowed" lines belong to other panels (VC, V4, V6, V8-V12).

When do permanent/long-term rights arise and what continuity, absence or retention conditions matter?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm when permanent rights arise and the continuity or absence rules.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the VP-2 panel: it gives fee and validity (up to six months) only; nothing on permanent/long-term rights, continuity or absence rules.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
