How GO-FOR-GOLD Is Putting Sierra Leone on the Investment Map

Eight months into the GO-FOR-GOLD program, we’re seeing measurable results: Fast-Track Citizenship approvals through Special Naturalisation, an expanding network of Official Partners, and our second delegation that connected investors directly with Sierra Leone’s government leadership.

Families have secured Fast-Track Citizenship via Special Naturalisation with 90-day processing and are now participating in Sierra Leone’s economic development. Our partner network continues to expand monthly across key markets as immigration advisors and wealth managers join us through our digital platform.

Our second official delegation brought together 30+ Official Partners, new citizens, and prospective investors for direct meetings with Minister of Tourism Nabeela Farida Tunis, Chief Immigration Officer Dr Moses Tiffa Baio, National Investment Board representatives, and business leaders across natural resources, infrastructure, and financial services.

These were working meetings. Government officials fielded detailed questions about policy execution, investment protection, and business realities. Attendees reviewed pre-vetted projects in mining, agriculture, and tourism development.

What Sets the GO-FOR-GOLD Program Apart

Fast-track citizenship via Special Naturalisation processes in 90 days. Gold-Backed Residency offers 40-day PR approval with physical gold stored in Central Bank reserves, or a no-gold option with a higher program fee.

• The government of Sierra Leone has updated family classifications beyond traditional structures, introducing Normal and Special Dependant classes that include a +1 Business Partner Incentive.
• Harod Associates handles independent third-party due diligence for all applications.
• Our Application Hub replaces PDF chains and email threads with integrated e-signatures and digital tools that streamline the process.
• ECOWAS membership provides residence rights across 12 West African states, plus visa-free travel to 76+ countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

In line with President Julius Maada Bio’s commitment to Foreign Direct Investment, programs include a company incorporated in Sierra Leone with a corporate bank account. Optional add-ons cover tax residency certification and legal name changes.

Why Sierra Leone?

Sierra Leone offers something increasingly rare: a government committed to transparency. Twenty years of post-conflict stability, an English common law system, food self-sufficiency potential, and untapped natural resources create genuine opportunity.

Official Partners are processing client applications through the streamlined system. Delegation attendees are reviewing Investment Board projects for viability.

Whether you manage high client volumes as an Official Partner or make selective referrals as an Introducer, the platform accommodates your business model. The Application Academy handles procedural guidance, reducing time spent answering routine questions.
