Legal & Regulatory Aspects of Citizenship by Investment
summary
Company with 30 years in the industry reports over $3 billion placed into citizenship programs and says some paths take 4–8 months to citizenship while others require longer residency like Portugal’s 7‑year investment fund route or the US EB‑5 route that starts with an $800,000 investment leading to a green card then citizenship after five years. Governments impose very intrusive due diligence—source‑of‑funds, criminal records—and do not accept Bitcoin directly, though intermediaries sometimes convert crypto to fiat for payment.
