Mali

For international investors seeking a second passport and citizenship through investment, Mali may pose a less compelling option. The country contends with challenges like political uncertainties and civil unrest, factors that could diminish its appeal for those seeking stability and manoeuvrability. There are several strong programmes available globally and exploring alternative options for second citizenship elsewhere is recommended.

MALI CITIZENSHIP INVESTMENT

Mali presently lacks a citizenship by investment (CBI) programme, limiting high-net-worth individuals from obtaining a second citizenship through investments. Routes to citizenship are obtained through traditional means. For investors seeking added benefits and a second passport exploring alternatives like Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Programme is recommended.

MALI RESIDENCY INVESTMENT

Mali does not offer a formal residency by investment programme. Nevertheless, investors have an opportunity to secure residency by opening a business that contributes to the local infrastructure. For alternative and more established investor visa options, Portugal’s Golden Visa programme stands out, offering a structured avenue for second residency through strategic investments.

MALI PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

Mali holds the 166th position on La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking. If a second citizenship programme is introduced, foreign investors would only gain visa-free access to 27.8% of countries, covering just 10.3% of global travel. Several other citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes boast stronger passports. Portugal’s passport, for instance, ranks 25th, providing enhanced global travel freedom, making it a preferred citizenship solution for high-net-worth individuals.
