Lesotho

For an international high net worth investor contemplating a second citizendhip and passport through investment, Lesotho does not offer a compelling perspective. Despite its strategic location and economic potential, the African nation faces challenges such as political instability. Lesotho also may not be the optimal choice for investors seeking second citizenship for manoeuvrability purposes. Exploring alternative options with more robust governance and infrastructure might better align with an investor’s goals.

LESOTHO CITIZENSHIP INVESTMENT

Lesotho currently does not offer a citizenship by investment (CBI) programme. This absence restricts high-net-worth individuals from acquiring second citizenship through qualifying investments, often granting benefits such as visa-free travel and financial flexibility. While various nations, particularly several Caribbean islands, provide CBI programmes, exploring alternative options could align better with the preferences of investors seeking a second residency.

LESOTHO RESIDENCY INVESTMENT

Lesotho does not have a formal residency by investment programme. To explore alternative options, investors may find Portugal’s Golden Visa programme noteworthy, offering a structured pathway for a second residency through strategic investment avenues.

LESOTHO PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

Lesotho holds a low position in La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking, standing at 124. If the country were to introduce a second citizenship programme, foreign investors would gain visa-free access to 38.3% of countries, constituting 19.4% of global travel.
