Botswana is a stable, beautiful, and prosperous country in Africa. It is one of the most peaceful nations in the world, with lovely people. Note that the governments of this independent African country have continuously invested in education. Not only education but also healthcare is excellent around the major centres. Don't forget that this African country is a wildlife paradise. Botswana is the home of the Okavango Delta, one of the last untouched paradises for all African animals.
Botswana is rarely populated, and there are plenty of options for buying land. The cost of living is affordable, but interestingly, the wages are not insufficient compared to other countries of the continent. This means that people in Botswana live well. A single person's monthly cost of living is less than 600 USD. Meanwhile, a family of four spends a minimum of 1,900 USD to live well, without rent. Rent is affordable; the average rental cost for a single person is less than 200 USD, while for a family of four, the housing cost is less than 500 USD. Holders of the Botswana passport can enter visa-free or by visa upon arrival and can obtain e-visas to 84 countries, including the United Kingdom, Izrael, and Singapore.
Official citizenship by investment programs is rare in Africa. However, there are several residency-by-investment solutions.
