Episode notes
Botswana’s New Low-Cost CBI
- Botswana will launch a citizenship-by-investment program in early 2026 with contributions starting at $75,000 to $90,000.
- The funds will target housing, tourism, renewable energy, mining, and financial services to diversify the diamond-driven economy.
Build A Passport Portfolio
- Build a multi-passport portfolio rather than relying on a single passport for travel and access.
- Consider passports that grant access to different unions and regions to diversify geopolitical risk.
Personal Example: Comorian Passport
- Andrew obtained a Comorian passport years ago and used it selectively for benefits it offered.
- He still values having at least one African passport as part of a broader strategy.
