Carte de séjour for investors

Carte de Séjour There are two types of carte de sejour for which you can apply. The first is for people who have been resident for a minimum of three months (Carte de Séjour temporaire). The second is for those who have been resident for five years or more (Titre de Séjour permanent).

In January 2026, foreigners can legally buy apartments, villas, houses, and residential plots in Senegal, but the key condition is that the property must sit on land with a proper land title (known locally as "Titre foncier") for you to have truly secure ownership.

Sectors attracting substantial investment include petroleum and natural gas, agribusiness, mining, tourism, manufacturing, and fisheries (U.S. Trade Administration).

Typically, residency in Senegal is achieved through standard immigration procedures like employment, business startup, or family reunification. Exploring alternative options, investors may find Greece's Golden Visa notable, providing a structured path for second residency through real estate investments.
