Company registration and account opening in Botswana
Botswana is located in the southern part of Africa and is a completely landlocked country. It shares borders with Namibia to the west, South Africa to the south, and Zimbabwe to the east. According to our specialists and partners, Botswana is considered the continent’s most stable country. It boasts the following:

To complete the registration, you will need a valid passport and payment of the applicable fees. The entire process is conducted remotely. Company registration typically takes up to one week.
