Guinea

Guinea is a republic located on the west coast of Africa with a population of over ten million people, a safe and peaceful environment and beautiful landscapes. Guinea has a developing economy and is rich in natural resources, including bauxite, iron ore and gold, which present lucrative investment potential. However, some investors may be cautious due to challenges such as bureaucratic hurdles, infrastructure constraints, and occasional political uncertainties.

GUINEA CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

Guinea does not offer a citizenship by investment programme. For second citizenship options for international investors, solutions including Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment programme enable foreign investors the opportunity to obtain a second passport to have visa free travel around many countries.

GUINEA RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT

Guinea does not offer an investor visa or golden visa programme. Guinea offers a traditional permanent residency visa programme for applicants who have lived in the country for at least 5 years and have complied with the regulations.

GUINEA PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

On La Vida’s comprehensive Global Passport Ranking, Guinea ranks 164th and the Guinea passport offers visa-free access to a mere 62 countries, accounting for 12.6% of worldwide travel and 7.7% of world wealth (measured in GDP). This passport has a very low mobility score and hence, investors should consider established Caribbean citizenship programmes such as St Lucia which ranks 79th in La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking and provides visa-free access to 158 countries to international investors.
