TimelineOfficial decisions
What has changed in the programmes
- 17 March 2026
The Legislative Assembly passed, with 57 votes, a reform of articles 49, 119, 164 and 279 of the Law on Migration and Foreigners: temporary residents must spend at least 90 days a year in the country, children of naturalised citizens born abroad acquire citizenship, and citizenship by naturalisation is lost permanently for serious intentional crimes.
- 30 April 2025
Reform of article 152: foreigners who donate to or invest in government programs receive permanent residence directly, without temporary residence first. The fee for the service is USD 690 per year. The same decision abolished the USD 12 migration entry card (TMI).
- 30 January 2025
Decree 199 amended the Bitcoin Law: acceptance of bitcoin became voluntary. The exemption of bitcoin exchanges from capital gains tax (article 5) was retained.
- 9 January 2024
Decree 918 of 20 December 2023 was published in Diario Oficial No. 5, vol. 442. It added item 5 to article 156 of the Law on Migration and Foreigners - the basis for naturalising participants of government programs that attract investors and donors.
