About This Program

Botswana announced its Impact Investment Program in September 2025 in partnership with Arton Capital, targeting a Q1 2026 launch. If approved, it would make Botswana one of Africa's most prestigious CBI options given the country's exceptional governance record. At $75,000 for a single applicant, the program is competitively priced - especially considering Botswana's passport offers visa-free access to 87 countries. The country is Africa's longest continuous democracy with the continent's lowest corruption levels. Note: The program is announced but pending final parliamentary approval of dual-citizenship amendments. Check current status before applying.

Lifestyle & Living

Botswana offers the Okavango Delta (one of the world's greatest wildlife experiences), the Kalahari Desert, and Chobe National Park. Gaborone is a safe, clean capital with modern amenities. The country's small population (2.5M) and diamond wealth translate to relatively high living standards.

Tax Benefits

Botswana has a maximum personal income tax rate of 25% and corporate tax of 22% - among the lowest in Africa. There is no exchange control, no capital gains tax on share disposals, and the country has a network of double taxation agreements.
