BeninBenin
Under Law No. 2024-31, Benin recognises Beninese nationality for adult descendants of sub-Saharan Africans deported in the transatlantic slave trade, via the official MyAfroOrigins platform launched July 2025.
PromiseReclaim an African homeland: a Beninese passport and the right to live in Benin for a USD 100 fee.
What it takesYou must document ancestry (DNA tests only as supporting evidence), and the 3-year Certificate of Eligibility becomes void unless you actually travel to Benin to complete identification before full nationality is decreed.
What Benin asks of your language on the road to residence & citizenship — with the source for every line.
No language requirement is on record for this destination yet. That is a gap in our research, not a confirmation that none exists.
