Is Bitizenship an agency? No.

We design our own products, and stand behind them.

Porto and the Douro river
In short

Bitizenship is not a migration agency or broker. It designs and develops its own investment pathways, and supports investors through the whole residency procedure.

An agency typically resells programs and investment products created by others and is paid through commissions. Bitizenship works the other way round: its pathways are the Bitizenship Portugal Fund and the Bitcoin Dolce Visa through Bitizenship Italia S.r.l., supported by founder-led legal oversight and a vetted network of lawyers and tax advisors.
