Guinea-Bissau has no published, specific rules on how an individual’s crypto gains are taxed, so a relocating individual should assume general income/capital-gains principles may eventually be applied but there is no clear current treatment.
“The taxation on income and property is still based on a classified income tax levied according to different sources of income, with a general absence of modern provisions addressing new forms of digital or virtual assets, and the tax system remains under reform to adapt to emerging economic activities.” — Ministry of Finance of Guinea-Bissau (via Britacom seminar paper "The Tax System of Guinea-Bissau")
