El Salvador

Freedom Visa (Adopting El Salvador). A non-refundable $1,000,000 contribution in Bitcoin or USDT to a state development fund; promoters describe it as citizenship, but the law we could find gives definitive (permanent) residence, with citizenship only after the usual years.

Free, with the law behind every answer

Freedom Visa (Adopting El Salvador)

Definitive (permanent) residence in El Salvador; citizenship is a separate naturalisation step under the migration law.

Who qualifies

Whether you keep your U.S. citizenship depends on the option you choose later.

1

Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Savings you could move or invest?

Not legal advice.

2

What it takes.

Investment
About $1,000,000.
Time
About 4–6 weeks reported after the investment.
Cost
$999 initial deposit plus the $1,000,000 contribution.
The hard part
The $1,000,000 contribution buys the residence option described by the promoter; it does not replace the statutory naturalisation process.

Dollar figures are converted from the local currency at the rate the program’s research used; the official figure is in the local currency.

Citizens by 2033.

If your first permit is issued in 2027 and you keep living there, this is the road.

  1. 2027
    First residence permit

    4 years, renewable for 4 years at a time.

  2. 2032
    Apply for citizenship
  3. 2033
    Citizenship
Time away
Temporary and definitive residence both count toward the five years, and a definitive-residence card is needed to apply. Temporary residents lose their status after more than six months away in a row, or six months in total in a year. Definitive residents may be away up to two years.
Two passports
It depends on the rules at the time and on your home country.
  • Not direct citizenship: it gives definitive (permanent) residence and the right to apply for citizenship after the usual years. Card renewals run one to four years. Reports of a passport in weeks are not supported by any law found.
  • How long the decision takes isn’t published; we allow a year.
  • Whether you can keep your current citizenship depends on the rules at the time and your home country.
The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there
None; no residency requirement.
Tax
El Salvador does not tax foreign-sourced income; Bitcoin’s tax treatment has shifted since the January 2025 legal-tender rollback.

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