Other options for tourism, visa & residential/investment opportunities in africa
Tourism in Africa had a reputation of nice beaches and wildlife 'safaris' (which doesn't make sense because 'Safari' in Swahili means Trip or Journey) but several African countries are progressing towards stability in natural resources, expanding in real estate and changing the global industry in controlling Africa's economic future.As African countries begin to offer free visa entry for African citizens, those in the diaspora who haven't gotten their dual citizenship yet, there are other options available for visiting or residential purposes. Several countries are allowing citizenship through various programs that may require DNA lineage tests, business investment or residential occupation.
Any country you may be interested in visiting or inquiring about residential occupation, you must visit their embassy website to view the Visa types that you qualify for. Whether a tourist, student or business type, you must attain all requirements before visiting. Keep in mind, each country have visa renewal policies that may require you to renew everyday 60-90 days from the day you enter the country. Your visa stamp in your passport is only valid for the timeframe in which you can enter the country but there are additional fees if you want to extend your time.
