Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Tonga?

Bitcoin is legal to hold and trade in Tonga but has no official status. The National Reserve Bank of Tonga has stated that cryptocurrency is not legal tender, that issuing currency is its sole responsibility under the National Reserve Bank of Tonga Act, and that it considers crypto unsuitable for the country's reserves. A widely publicized plan to make bitcoin legal tender, championed by Lord Fusitu'a from 2021, never reached a parliamentary vote.
