Pathways to Sierra Leone Residence and Citizenship

Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone’s covered options include supported employment and residence for an approved active business. The current online permit system handles work and residence applications, with national identity registration forming part of the process. Business registration and investment promotion do not themselves issue a residence permit or citizenship.
