Online System for Residence and Work Permits

Sierra Leone has introduced a new online system for processing residence and work permits as part of a broader effort to modernize immigration services and strengthen compliance oversight.

Why the Change?

According to government announcements, the new digital platform centralizes application and renewal processes and is intended to improve transparency, tracking and enforcement.

Authorities have stated that foreign nationals and their employers must ensure their immigration status is fully up to date under the new system.

Officials have also emphasized that stricter compliance measures will be used to identify individuals or companies that have not regularized their status, and those found in violation may face significant penalties.
