Ethiopia has launched a 10-year residency program, or Golden Visa, for foreign investors, requiring a minimum direct investment of $10 million. An alternative entry path is available at a $5 million threshold, contingent upon significant local job creation. The program includes administrative processing fees of $10,000 to $12,500. While the initiative aims to streamline bureaucracy for high-impact investors, it does not provide an automatic route to citizenship, though it complements ongoing economic and real estate reforms within the country.
