Tax considerations
Holding citizenship of Sierra Leone does not by itself make you tax-resident there, and there is no physical-presence requirement. Your tax position depends on where you actually live. We coordinate with qualified tax advisers rather than giving tax advice.
Sierra Leone: frequently asked
Do I have to live in Sierra Leone?
No. There is no physical residency requirement to obtain or keep the citizenship.
Can I include my family?
Yes. A spouse and dependent children can be included. [VERIFY current dependant rules.]
How strong is the passport?
Visa-free access is more limited than the established Caribbean programmes, at roughly 73 destinations, so it suits budget and optionality goals more than mobility. [VERIFY current count.]
Which route is available?
A single contribution to the national development fund. We confirm the current minimum and that the programme is active for you at qualification.
