Pathways to Madagascar Residence and Citizenship

Madagascar

Madagascar’s covered long-stay options include employment, an active business, and pension-supported retirement. The process begins with the correct convertible visa and continues with a local residence application. A tourist visa cannot be converted to these long-stay permissions, so arranging the right entry document before travel is essential.

The East Africa and Indian Ocean guide compares the covered options and links to their requirements.
