Office of the President · Republic of Liberia
A historic invitation to global citizens of good standing. Liberia is now offering the most affordable Citizenship-by-Investment program in the world, together with a five-year Friendly Nations Permanent Residency. Both programs are denominated in Bitcoin.
Comparable CBI programs start at $100,000–$250,000. Liberia: $50,000.
The Republic accepts BTC directly — preserving sovereign monetary independence.
Citizenship requires investors to create a Liberian business employing at least two citizens.
Program One
For applicants who wish to become full citizens of the Republic of Liberia and obtain a Liberian passport — through direct contribution to the nation's economy and workforce.
Program Two
A permanent residency for citizens of allied nations — designed for entrepreneurs, remote professionals, and global families who want a credible second home base without the obligations of relocation.
Friendly Nations Visa — Eligible Countries
The Republic of Liberia extends the Friendly Nations Visa to nationals of countries with whom we share strong economic, diplomatic, or historic ties.
Applicants from other nations may petition the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for consideration on a case-by-case basis.
A Bitcoin-Forward Republic
Liberia recognizes Bitcoin as a sovereign-grade reserve asset. Investment and residency payments are received directly into the Sovereign Bitcoin Treasury, custodied on-chain, and verifiable in real time.
This creates a transparent, non-discretionary public ledger of every contribution to the Republic — a global first among nations offering Citizenship by Investment.
Operated under the authority of the Ministry of Finance & Development Planning, Republic of Liberia.

Common questions
Yes. At $50,000 USD-equivalent in Bitcoin, the Liberian CBI is materially less expensive than every comparable program currently in operation. Caribbean programs (St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Antigua, Grenada, St. Lucia) range from approximately $100,000 to $250,000. Vanuatu is approximately $130,000. Turkey requires a $400,000 real-estate investment. Malta requires roughly €690,000+.
Bitcoin is a neutral, hard, and globally accessible monetary asset. Accepting program payments in BTC directly into the Sovereign Bitcoin Treasury reduces FX friction, eliminates correspondent banking constraints, and creates an auditable on-chain record of contributions to the Republic.
Any lawful Liberian business that creates real, sustained employment for at least two Liberian citizens. Common pathways include tourism, agriculture, light manufacturing, fintech, professional services, and remote-work operations. The Ministry of Commerce will help you structure the entity.
Yes. The Liberia Friendly Nations Visa is structured as a "no-show" permanent residency. After your initial issuance visit, you are only required to physically enter Liberia once during each five-year period to keep your residency active.
For citizenship, the principal applicant's spouse and dependent children under 18 are included at no additional Treasury fee. For residency, dependents are added at $1,500 USD-equivalent in Bitcoin each.
Yes. Liberia permits dual citizenship under the amended Aliens and Nationality Law.
From application to approval: typically 6–10 weeks. Once approved, you schedule your in-country visit — approximately 7 to 10 days in Monrovia to complete biometrics, medicals, the oath of allegiance (citizens only), and card or passport pickup.
You may submit a petition to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for case-by-case consideration. Citizenship by Investment is open to applicants of all nationalities meeting the program requirements.
