Program Announcement
The Federated States of Gapla has transitioned to a dual e-Residency–citizenship system, similar to models used by Liberland and Verdis.
With limited exceptions, current Gaplan citizens will have their citizenship converted to e-Residency.
The following individuals will retain Gaplan citizenship: citizens who have received an official award or honor from the President of Gapla or the Prince of the Danubias and current and former members (including those on leave) of the Provisional Government or diplomatic service.
All new prospective Gaplan citizens must first apply for e-Residency.
To upgrade from e-Residency to citizenship, applicants must make a substantial contribution to Gapla, either through a financial contribution of 200 USD (or the equivalent in another currency) or an equivalent contribution of labor. Additional requirements include identity verification, background checks or citizen vetting, and completion of an online application. However, meeting these requirements does not guarantee acceptance as a citizen.
In certain cases, the President of Gapla may offer citizenship to individuals who do not meet the standard requirements. All accepted members of the Provisional Government and diplomatic service will automatically be granted citizenship; these individuals need only hold e-Residency to apply.
Further details will be released soon, particularly regarding civil service projects that may qualify as equivalent labor. We emphasize that Gapla remains committed to accessibility and inclusivity—citizenship is not limited solely to those who can afford to pay.
