Unlock your EU passport
After 5 years of visa-free European travel, we apply and secure Portuguese citizenship for yourself and your family. Enjoy your passport and new found freedom.
We've done our homework.
We pioneered this legal method to secure EU citizenship by safely holding the underlying Bitcoin asset in cold storage to increase security and minimise ETF fees.
As nomads for the past 10 years, we've experienced first-hand the challenges of visas and global mobility. We believe this Bitcoin-backed program is the smartest way to maximise financial upside whilst planning our family's future.
After interviewing dozens of potential partners, we carefully selected Celtis and SJF to ensure the process was as trusted, safe, and simple as possible. We're passionate about helping others access this innovative path while pursuing it ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I legally gain EU citizenship by holding Bitcoin?Yes, Portugal’s Golden Visa program allows you to secure EU citizenship by making a qualifying investment, including holding Bitcoin through Celtis's €140M insured fund. This is a government-backed opportunity to legally gain residency and citizenship by contributing to the host country’s economy.
-
Why should I consider a second citizenship?A second passport offers security, freedom, and opportunity. It provides a backup plan during political or economic instability, opens doors to tax-friendly environments, and simplifies global travel. With EU citizenship, you and your family gain access to healthcare, education, and business opportunities across Europe for generations.
-
How long does it take to secure EU citizenship through The Bitcoin Visa?The process to obtain EU citizenship is always the same 5-year timeline. During the process, you gain visa-free EU travel and then apply for your passport after 5 years. To qualify for the passport you need to invest €500,000 in an investment fund, renew your residency card, and meet eligibility criteria like maintaining your investment and visiting Portugal for the required 14 days every two years. *Withdrawing funds anytime, but you will forfeit your passport eligibility.
-
Can I keep my current citizenship while applying for EU citizenship?Yes, Portugal recognises dual citizenship, meaning you can retain your existing nationality while gaining a new one. However, it’s important to confirm whether your home country allows dual citizenship to avoid complications, especially for tax benefits. We're happy to walk you through it in a free consultation. Book directly here.
