Botswana plans to launch $100K 'Golden Passport' program
Published on: Sunday 04 January 2026
Botswana is considering a "golden passport" program, offering citizenship for investments up to $100,000 to offset declining diamond revenues. The initiative aims to attract 5,000 families over five years, potentially raising $500 million. This move aligns with a global trend of citizenship-by-investment schemes, with Botswana's political stability and rule of law attracting initial interest.
