Namibia Citizenship And Residency By Investment Programs Are Coming

According to The Namibian, the government plans to offer citizenship and residency for foreign pensioners in exchange for an investment in "Namibia's failing economy".

Allison Hishekewa, the director of citizenship, passports, visas and permits from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, revealed the plan during a consultative workshop. The High-Level Panel on the Namibian visa requirements took place during the "Economic Summit" of 2019.

Hishekawa told at the event that the government decided to offer different solutions for foreign pensioners to obtain residence visas with easy access. Another official project is to extend the validity of the working visas (employment permits) from the actual two years to a minimum of five years.
