A New Pathway To Opportunity in Sierra Leone.
Empowering investors to belong, build and expand across Africa's most connected region.
About The GO-FOR-GOLD Program
A citizenship and permanent residency initiative built with purpose, it is designed to deliver on President Julius Maada Bio's commitment to encourage Foreign Direct Investment in Sierra Leone by welcoming new citizens as active partners.
The GO-FOR-GOLD Program is a proven, forward-looking initiative that invites qualified global citizens to participate and prosper in Sierra Leone's growth story.
CITIZENSHIP or PERMANENT RESIDENCY is more than a legal status. It's a relationship forged between applicants and a country, of contribution and belonging
Every stage of engagement is guided by integrity, collaboration and continuity. Each applicant, their family, or a +1 Business Partner become part of a country-wide ecosystem.
Africa's prosperity belongs to those who build within it…
Sierra Leone represents more than a jurisdiction offering citizenship or permanent residency by investment. It is leading a continental awakening where democratic governance, economic growth and partnership meet.
The GO-FOR-GOLD Program offers individuals and investors a front row seat to Africa's transformation, not as mere spectators, but as participants.
Every approved application is a new business launched, contributing to a shared momentum: prosperity built on trust, inclusion and collaboration.
