Namibia offers residence to foreign investors through permits issued by its immigration authority. Filipino nationals can apply, though the investor pathway has been reported as under government review.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Filipino nationals can apply for Namibian investor residence. The route turns on the investment and the permit category rather than on nationality, so there is no Philippines specific exclusion at the time of writing.
Because the pathway is reported to be under review, the available routes and any qualifying amounts may change. Confirm what is currently accepted with the Ministry before you commit funds.
Investors have generally approached Namibia either by establishing or investing in a Namibian company with a meaningful ownership stake, or by acquiring qualifying real estate, with a residence or work permit attached.
Permanent residence in Namibia has historically followed a long period of lawful residence rather than the investment alone. Confirm the present criteria and any minimums with the official authority, since these figures are not fixed here.
Processing times for Namibian permits vary and the pathway is under review, so published timelines may not hold. Confirm current service times with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security.
Qualifying investment levels, permit fees and professional costs are set by the Namibian authorities and may change as the route is reviewed. We do not publish unconfirmed figures here. Confirm the current amounts with the official authority.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifying investment | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Route under review |
| Permit and government fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Set by the Ministry |
