Namibia Permanent Residence By Investment
In 1990, Namibia introduced the Foreign Investments Act to encourage foreign nationals to invest in the country. To be eligible under this Act, a foreign investor must put more than N$3,950,000 into a Namibian business or buy more than 10% of shares in a Namibian company. Investment can also be made in real estate.
Once the investment has been finalised, an employment permit can be acquired, which will allow the investor and their family to live and work in Namibia. These permits are valid for five years and can be renewed once the initial period has elapsed.

Pathways to Permanent Residence

Foreign nationals have the option to either start a new business venture in Namibia or invest in an existing Namibian company. The aim is to add value within the country, generate employment for locals, and contribute to Namibia’s economic development. To qualify for permanent residence under this category, investors must demonstrate a substantial and sustainable investment into their chosen business venture.
The Presidents Link Estate (Pty) Ltd offers foreign investors the chance to buy shares in a Namibian company that’s developing residential properties within the Presidents Link Estate. This avenue allows investors to apply for the necessary employment permit as they will own a part of a Namibian company.
The prestigious President’s Links Estate is a luxurious development strategically located on the fringes of Dorob National Park in Walvis Bay. This estate boasts high-end residential homes complemented by top-tier lifestyle facilities. To qualify for residency by investment through this estate, applicants are required to purchase real estate with a minimum value of N$ 365,000.
