About This Program

Namibia's residency-by-investment program, active since 2023, offers a pathway through real estate or business investment. The country's political stability, low population density, and spectacular natural landscapes make it an attractive destination. Property investments in developments like President's Links Estate in Walvis Bay qualify, as do substantial equity stakes in Namibian companies. The 5-year permit is renewable and leads to permanent residency after a decade. Namibia ranks among Africa's most stable democracies with strong rule of law, low corruption, and a well-functioning economy based on mining, tourism, and agriculture.
