Who qualifies

  • A foreign worker first needs a valid Liberian residence permit.

You keep your U.S. citizenship.

1

Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

2

What it takes.

Time
Ask the issuing authority for its current processing time.
Cost
Liberia Immigration Service lists US$750 for an initial non-African resident permit; work-permit fee and other costs require confirmation.
The hard part
The residence permit must be obtained before applying for the work permit.
3

The road past the first permit.

Any later permanent residence or citizenship requires a separate application under its own rules.

    Route candidate

    The residence and work authorization sequence still needs verification.

  • We have not yet confirmed this country’s road from residence to citizenship.
  • We have not yet confirmed how this route counts toward residence or citizenship.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
