Question About Golden Visa - Invest with BTC

[joshgarner]

I heard that Antigua & Barbuda citizenship by investment program allows bitcoin as an investment, but you must first convert it to fiat currency. You should check out these.

I understand that now they are looking for any ways to implement and use Bitcoin. And to increase the amount of investment. Well, that's all right.

Yes I think this is possible because there is no rule that buying property using bitcoin is not allowed. The bottom line is to buy or to invest but no designated currency that need to use to buy or to invest. I think nothing is different between bitcoin or cash in terms of buying because bitcoin is convertable into cash and cash is convertablee into bitcoin.

blackrabbit1, it is true that some countries offer citizenship, residency or immigration by investment, but I do not see any country except Antigua and Barbuda, and Vanuatu to accept BTC as a means of payment for that service.

Antigua and Barbuda offers citizenship for 200k USD no return, or 400k USD investment later to be returned to you. They will of course check your background and wealth origin. They do accept bitcoin directly. The money they collect is for their rebuilding efforts, mostly housing projects. If i had that money i would do it right now, but alas...

Hello community,

I happened to read something about "Golden Visa"
If you make certain amount of investment in business/property in some countries, you will be offered a citizenship

My question is, I saw there are some sellers selling their property for BTC on the forum
If I buy the property and pay with BTC, should I be included in the program? (let's assume the country has such program)

What do you guys think, and what will be the problems?

I don't think the countries that offer such incentive are much its almost impossible in my country if you life buy the whole properties in my country it will never make you a citizen until you fulfill all the requirements for being a citizen. And if you buy bitcoin today you are automatically part of the bitcoin network.

I don't think it will overcome the government regulation. Once there is any financial institutional approve for visa/master with cryptocurrency then it will be come great and promises project. Hope for the success.

There are a few countries around that allow BTC investment. There's a lot of information on CIB here https://govisafree.com/citizenship-by-investment-programs/ I recommend you give it a look
