Immigration and Citizenship Ordinance 2026

1. Status of Coral Island

Coral Island is a self-governing island state. Its Government is separate from the City of Los Santos and from the State of San Andreas.

Residents and citizens of San Andreas are not citizens of Coral Island. They hold no right of entry, residence or employment on the island unless the Government grants it.

2. Requirement to hold authorisation before travel

No person may travel to Coral Island unless they hold, at the time of departure, an authorised visa, a residence permit or a certificate of citizenship issued by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

Authorisation must be obtained before travel. Applications are not accepted at the airline desk or on arrival.

The airline operating between Sandy Shores Airfield and Coral Island Airfield must confirm authorisation before accepting a fare. A traveller without authorisation is refused carriage and no fare is taken.

3. Visas and permits

The Department may issue tourist visas of 7, 14 or 30 days, business visas of 30 days, work visas of six months tied to a named employer, and residence permits of twelve months.

A visa is valid from the date it is approved. It permits travel between San Andreas and the island as often as the holder wishes while it is valid.

A visa may be renewed from seven days before it expires until fourteen days after. The renewal fee is the same as the fee for the visa.

A work visa lapses if the employment named in it ends. The holder must inform the Department within seven days.

4. Declarations and records

Every applicant must declare active warrants and criminal convictions recorded against them in Los Santos. The Department reads those records directly and compares them with the declaration.

An undeclared warrant or conviction is grounds for refusal, and for an entry ban where the Department finds the omission was deliberate.

An active warrant does not by itself bar a visa. The Department decides each case. An active warrant bars naturalisation.

5. Fees

The fee for an application becomes due when the application is submitted and must be paid within seven days.

Fees are paid at the Coral Island Flights desk at Sandy Shores Airfield, at the Immigration and City Office in Puerto Coral, or by the payment command /coralfees pay. The Department does not take payment through this website.

An application is not decided until its fee is paid or waived. An application whose fee is unpaid after seven days expires.

Fees are not refunded when an application is refused or withdrawn after payment.

6. Refusal, removal and entry bans

The Department may refuse any application and must give a reason in writing.

A person on the island whose conduct warrants it may be removed by an immigration officer or a police officer. Removal revokes every visa the person holds and imposes an entry ban of thirty days.

The Department may impose an entry ban of any length, or without limit of time, with a written reason. A person subject to a ban may not apply for a visa while it is in force.

A ban may be lifted by the leadership of the Department with a written reason.

7. Citizenship

A person may apply for naturalisation as a citizen of Coral Island when they hold or have held a residence permit, have spent at least thirty qualifying days on the island in the preceding one hundred and eighty days, have no active warrant, have no conviction in the preceding thirty days, are not subject to an entry ban, and are sponsored by a citizen.

A qualifying day is a day on which the applicant was present on the island for at least thirty minutes.

The applicant must attend an interview with an immigration officer and, if approved, take the oath of citizenship at Government House within thirty days. If the oath is not taken in that time the approval lapses and the applicant may reapply after thirty days.

A citizen may travel to the island without a visa and may sponsor applicants for naturalisation.

Citizenship may be revoked for conduct that would have justified refusal, with a written reason.

8. Verification

Every visa carries a number and a verification code. Any person may confirm whether a visa is valid using the number and the holder's surname. The Department discloses only the validity, the type of visa and its dates.

9. Immigration officers

Officers of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, and officers of the Coral Island Police Service on duty, may check the immigration status of any person on the island or at the departures desk.

Every decision made by an officer is recorded with the officer's name and rank and is available to the leadership of the Department.

10 to 19. Reserved

These section numbers are reserved for future amendment.

20. Regulations

The Minister may make regulations prescribing fees. The fees in force are set by the Fees and Charges Regulations 2026.
