🏜️ TON and golden visas: how to draw a castle in the sand
The TON Foundation has officially announced the launch of a program for issuing 10-year resident visas in the UAE… and just a couple of days later, it also officially reported that there is no official program 😅
🔍 In the foundation's statement, it is said:
> "We are in the early stages",
"Working with a licensed partner",
"Waiting for approval from the authorities".
Translating from bureaucratic: nothing has been decided yet, but we wanted to create some hype.
📛 The UAE authorities also did not remain silent and stated:
"We do not issue any visas to crypto holders".
Thank you for reminding us who is the boss in the house.
📲 Pavel Durov added fuel to the fire by reposting the announcement. The post still hangs like a monument to past dreams.
🤷♂️ Well, while the UAE is not ready for "golden crypto-guests", one can look for alternatives: — Portugal: $500k in crypto — and hello, Golden Visa
— USA: $5M investment — and you're almost in Hollywood

💬 The moral? If you were promised a visa for crypto — double-check if it’s not written in the sand by the sea.
