Procedure

Spouse(s), dependent parents and grandparents, and children can be included in your application. You can also include your siblings under 30 years old, their spouse, and their children under the age of 18 for an additional $20,000 fee per applicant. You can also include a business partner or co-investor to your application (not permitted to have a familial relation) for an additional $30,000 fee.

Can I change my name?

Yes, you can request a name change for an additional $10,000 fee. First, you will need to secure your naturalization certificate through either the Fast Track or Heritage pathways. With this certificate, you can initiate a name change via Deed Poll at a Notary or Commissioner of Oaths. Afterward, your name change is announced in the national gazette, and you'll receive a new name certificate. This updates the national registry. Subsequently, you can obtain a new passport reflecting your updated name and revise your tax number, national ID, and other documents. The entire process takes about 2 weeks and can be completed 100% online.
