Namibia Residence by Investment

Namibia's investor residence concept has been promoted via a structure linked to the President's Links Estate development. The typical public framing is that qualifying applicants make a high-value real estate investment and then pursue a residence permission through the Namibian immigration process supported by authorised partners.

Minimum investment: Public descriptions cite minimum real estate investment thresholds (often differentiated by applicant profile). Recent public information has referenced figures around USD 365,000 for standard units and lower thresholds for retirement-focused units, but amounts should be treated as variable until confirmed for the specific applicant and unit type.

Processing and timing: Published program descriptions commonly cite processing in the low single-digit months, but real-world timing varies with due diligence, document completeness, and local processing capacity. Some public sources also note that the process has been under review, which may affect acceptance and timelines.

Long-term pathway: Program summaries commonly describe eligibility to apply for permanent residence after a multi-year holding period (often cited as 7 years of retaining the qualifying investment), subject to the immigration rules in force at the time of application.

Travel: A Namibian residence permission does not provide EU or Schengen mobility; travel outcomes depend on the passport held.
