Frequently asked questions
Who qualifies for permanent residence?
Eligibility depends on factors such as lawful residence, investment and ties to Botswana. We assess your situation honestly before you commit.
Is approval guaranteed if I meet the criteria?
No. Meeting the criteria strengthens your case, but the decision rests with the Botswana authorities.
Can my family be included?
Family members may be eligible depending on circumstances. We will advise on the right approach for your household.
Does residence lead to citizenship?
Long-term lawful residence can be relevant to a later citizenship application, subject to the official requirements. We can advise on that path.
Ronimod provides facilitation and advisory support only. Approvals are made by the relevant Botswana authorities, subject to Botswana law and official eligibility requirements.
