About El Salvador Citizenship Program
Freedom Passport: Fast-Track Citizenship
El Salvador, a pioneer in Central America, has established itself at the forefront of modern finance and global mobility. As the first country to recognise Bitcoin as legal tender, it has attracted crypto enthusiasts, travellers, and investors from around the world.
Through its exclusive Freedom Visa program, El Salvador offers citizenship to crypto investors and skilled professionals. Applicants make a non-refundable contribution of US$1,000,000 in Bitcoin (BTC) or Tether (USDT) to a government fund that supports national development and modernisation. The government limits applications to a maximum of 1,000 annually. Astons is a licensed agent of the El Salvador Citizenship by Investment Program, offering full legal support and a seamless process from application to passport.
