The GO-FOR-GOLD program of the government of Sierra Leone was developed in partnership with Stephen Barnes of the Hong Kong Visa Centre. With over three decades of experience in investment migration. Barnes collaborated with Sierra Leone’s government to create a program tailored to the country’s strengths.

Barnes emphasized the program’s innovative nature:

“We wanted to create something fundamentally different from existing investment migration programs, showcasing Sierra Leone as a leader in Africa’s economic and cultural renaissance.”

This initiative reflects Sierra Leone’s broader vision under President Julius Maada Bio. His administration focuses on resilience, inclusivity, and leveraging natural resources to drive transformation. Chief Immigration Officer Hon. Alusine Kanneh praised the program’s significance:

“Sierra Leone is not merely evolving but transforming—redefining what it means to be a modern, inclusive, and forward-thinking nation. By fostering global partnerships and embracing innovation, we invite the world to invest in the boundless potential of our people.”

Hong Kong Visa Centre

The culmination of more than 30 years' combined experience in the professional practice of Hong Kong visa and immigration advisory matters, the Hong Kong Visa Centre is the business which my business partner Martyn Penny and I established in 2010 to take advantage of technology opportunities reshaping the immigration services landscape.

Our flagship product is the Hong Kong Visa Handbook which is 100% free service of our Firm.

In the 11 years since 2010 we have mastered the art of delivering huge value to our relationships, for free, and in the process proven an entirely new way of providing a professional service that befits the Connection Economy the arrival of which has finally been heralded by the 2019 COVID pandemic. 

It is a little known fact that 90% of all Hong Kong visa applicants who instruct immigration consultants to help out on their cases never meet their advisors face to face: the service is almost exclusively provided remotely via the internet and telephone.

Consequently, technology can now be leveraged very cost effectively to allow visa applicants to take control of their own cases by providing them with industry-standard knowledge resources for free via the Hong Kong Visa Handbook and then stand ready to help out, for very reasonable service fees, with intellectual and professional case input based on years of visa and immigration expertise.

Under our Connection Economy business model, our clients can save more than 80% in professional service fees whilst we still retain the necessary profit margins to remain a commercially attractive business proposition.

It just makes sense.

Overheads are kept very low (no fancy offices), case management practices are fully systemised (removing the traditional inefficiencies endemic in the Hong Kong visa services industry) and clients pay only for the real value in the relationship with their advisors, namely, our expertise, knowledge and experience.
