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.

How the GO-FOR-GOLD Program works

Police Clearance Certificate

With our stringent due diligence protocol, a country-of-residency Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is not required for the GO-FOR-GOLD citizenship application process.

Clients who have successfully obtained Sierra Leone citizenship through the GO-FOR-GOLD Program may, if required for other official purposes, apply for a PCC after naturalisation.

Applications for a PCC are made in person at a police station in Sierra Leone and are administered by the Sierra Leone Police as a separate post-naturalisation government procedure.
