Citizenship

Language: Enough Malagasy for the applicant’s circumstances; the code treats language as evidence of assimilation rather than setting an exam level.
Time away: Habitual residence in Madagascar for the five years before filing and maintained until the naturalisation decree is signed.
Two passports: Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.

The 30-day visa must be converted to long-stay investor status; residence counts only while that later status remains valid.
How long the decision takes isn’t published; we allow a year.

The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
