Sierra Leone Citizenship by Investment Program

Sierra Leone offers one of Africa’s most streamlined and flexible citizenship-by-investment programs. Located on the West African Atlantic coast, Sierra Leone is a member of the UN, African Union, and ECOWAS, and has recently opened its doors to foreign investors through a fast-track citizenship program.

The program grants citizenship directly upon approval, with no residency requirement and full remote processing. Dual citizenship is recognized, and the program allows investors to include wide family structures and even a business partner under a single application.

Benefits of Sierra Leone Citizenship by Investment

Citizenship is granted in as little as 60–90 days, making it one of the fastest CBI programs in Africa.

Applicants may retain their existing nationality.

Spouse, children, parents, grandparents, multiple spouses, and even a +1-business partner can be included.

No travel or physical presence is required to obtain citizenship or the passport.

Citizens receive mobility and business access within the 15-country ECOWAS bloc.
