El Salvador unveils BTC ‘Freedom Visa’ — but it’s 10x the cost of others
The same citizenship-by-investment schemes in nearby Caribbean nations start at $100,000, and one EU country has a citizenship pathway for just over $800,000.
El Salvador has launched a new citizenship-by-investment program that grants a residency visa and pathway to citizenship for 1,000 people willing to stump up a $1 million Bitcoin (BTC) or Tether (USDT) investment in the country.
The Central American country’s price tag for citizenship, however, appears far more expensive than those in neighboring Caribbean countries — which start at $100,000.
El Salvador’s government and stablecoin issuer Tether announced the program on Dec. 7, dubbed the “Adopting El Salvador Freedom Visa Program.”
