Sierra Leone citizenship by contribution
Citizenship of Sierra Leone for an investment contribution — a niche second passport. The programme is very new and continues to change, so we position it as a backup document; the exact amount for your track we confirm individually.

According to independent media and the programme operator’s materials, two options have been announced: the standard one (Fast-Track/Special Naturalization) — from $140,000, ~90 days; Heritage Naturalization (for people of African descent, with a DNA test) — from $100,000, ~60 days. Plus $10,000 for each dependant.
The Sierra Leone Immigration Department (SLID) announced the programme on 2 January 2025. The legal basis is the Citizenship (Special Naturalization) Regulation 2026, secondary legislation under section 27(a) of the Citizenship Act 1973. Day to day, a private partner runs the programme under contract: GO-FOR-GOLD Center / TG 2050 Ltd. Sources date the regulation either 2025 or 2026, so its status was not settled at the time of checking. Abroad the passport is still barely recognised or used — count on it only as a backup document. In November 2025 reports said the programme would extend to distant relatives and business partners: the terms are still changing.
The domain slid.gov.sl (the Sierra Leone Immigration Department) confirms that the agency exists (passports, visas, residence permits), but the specific terms and figures of the GO-FOR-GOLD programme are not on the government domain itself — all the amounts are taken from independent media and the programme operator’s materials.
