Permanent Residence allows foreign nationals who have lived lawfully in Botswana for a sustained period to reside indefinitely without the need for recurring residence permits. This status is commonly pursued by long-term residents, professionals, investors, and spouses of citizens or permanent residents.
We assist clients by assessing eligibility, compiling documentation, preparing application packs, submitting to Immigration authorities, and providing follow-up until a decision is issued.
