Sierra Leone Citizenship by Investment Programme

Citizenship is a function of frontier-economy positioning

Sierra Leone, in West Africa, has introduced a new citizenship-by-investment initiative aimed at attracting foreign capital and boosting its economy. For investors seeking under-the-radar jurisdictions with lower entry costs, this frontier option presents opportunity — albeit with higher risk.

Program Overview

Launched in 2025 (or very recently announced) the Sierra Leone CBI programme offers “Fast-Track Citizenship by Investment” starting from around USD 140,000 for a single applicant.

Key Advantages

• Relatively low entry cost compared with many traditional programs.

• Citizenship may serve as a diversification hedge and access to ECOWAS region.

• Process claimed to be 100% remote and ~90 days for approval for certain applications.

Investment Requirement

• Fast-Track option: Investment from USD 140,000 for single applicant.

• Specific additional options, family fees and project types may vary.

Process & Eligibility

• Application via authorised agent; due-diligence required.

• Background and transparency currently less well-documented; Programme is new.

Important Considerations

• Because the programme is newly launched, transparency, track-record, and regulatory stability are less established.

• Understand visa-free access of the passport, political/sovereign risk and local governance environment.

• Agents/promoters may oversell; verify government official documentation.

Conclusion

Sierra Leone’s Citizenship by Investment programme offers a lower-cost entry into citizenship in a frontier economy. While the upside is cost-efficiency and novelty, investors must weigh the greater uncertainty and ensure rigorous due-diligence.
