Botswana has no published crypto‑specific rules, so an individual relocating there should assume that any crypto disposal gains may be taxed under the general capital gains regime at progressive rates up to 25% until the tax authority issues explicit guidance.

“Capital gains for individuals are considered to be from a separate source and are taxed on the basis of the table below. Capital gains on the disposal of immovable property and marketable securities (including shares in private companies) are taxable in Botswana if the source is in Botswana.[6]” Botswana Unified Revenue Service (via PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries – official capital gains table)
