Who Is It For?
Sierra Leone citizenship suits those reconnecting with African heritage and anyone seeking an affordable, full second citizenship.
African-Heritage Applicants
You have African ancestry and want to reconnect formally — at a discounted donation verified by a simple DNA test.
Plan B Seekers
You want a genuine backup citizenship without a half-million-dollar price tag.
Globally Mobile Individuals
You want a neutral second passport and West African (ECOWAS) mobility.
Affordable-CBI Hunters
You want a real second citizenship, not just residency — at a competitive all-in cost.
Geopolitical Hedgers
You treat citizenship like a portfolio. One passport is a single point of failure; you want the right to exit before you ever need it — a hedge against the country you were born in.
Sovereign Individuals
You earn online, hold crypto, and answer to no single jurisdiction. A second citizenship is infrastructure for a life that isn't bound to one government.
Key Benefits
African-Ancestry Discount
A DNA-verified African ancestry within five generations brings the donation down to $100,000 (vs $140,000 otherwise) — a meaningful saving for those reconnecting with the continent.
First-Class Citizenship
Naturalization under the program carries the same legal effect as citizenship by descent — no second-tier status.
No Agency Markup, Paid on Approval
Our licensed agent charges nothing above the government-set fees and donation, and is paid only when your application succeeds.
No Travel Required
There is no need to travel to Sierra Leone at any point during the process. No apostille required either.
ECOWAS Mobility
Visa-free movement across the ECOWAS bloc of West African states, with African Union free movement on the horizon.
Family & Future Generations
Add spouse, children, parents, grandparents, and more. Children born after you naturalize inherit citizenship by descent.
