Is Bitizenship legit?
Don’t take our word for it. Here is how to check.
Bitizenship’s programs rest on public, checkable structures: a Portugal fund whose manager is authorised by the CMVM (Nr. 2089), an Italian company registered as an Innovative Startup, a named founder and press coverage since 2024.
Investments are never made in Bitcoin, and in Italy capital moves only after the visa is approved.

Built into the process.
Visa before money
In Italy, capital is transferred only after the Nulla Osta and consular visa are issued.
Euro rails only
Investments go through compliant euro bank transfers, never in Bitcoin.
No guarantees
No guaranteed returns, residency or citizenship; capital is at risk.
Independent review
We encourage investors to consult their own lawyer and tax advisor.
What to watch for with any provider.
Promises of guaranteed citizenship or returns, requests to pay in crypto, pressure to transfer money before approval, and no named people or regulated entities.
