Are you trying to become a VIP in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online? Becoming a VIP is pretty simple—the only prerequisite is to have $50,000 in your bank account. In this article we'll teach you how you can become a VIP, go over some VIP perks, and offer some reasons why the game isn't letting you become a VIP.

Things You Should Know

• You must have $50,000 before becoming a VIP, which can be obtained easily by doing almost any activity in the game.
• Once you have the cash, open the SecureServ menu and select "Become a VIP" to register an organization and instantly become a VIP.
• VIP status lasts for four real-time hours, after which you'll be on a 12-hour VIP status cooldown.

   VIPs have access to a few special perks. VIP status lasts for four real-time hours, but once your VIP status expires you'll be placed in a 12-hour cooldown before you can become VIP again. VIP perks are explained below:

   • VIPs can rename their organization, set the clothing style for each member, and enable or disable friendly fire.
   • VIPs can access VIP Work, which can be completed for cash and RP rewards.
   • VIPs can hire up to 3 bodyguards or associates to protect themselves. VIPs can get armor, ammunition, and vehicles for their bodyguards.
   • VIPs can also do VIP Challenges with their bodyguards/associates for cash or RP.
   • VIPs can turn on the Ghost Organization feature to hide their bodyguards from the map.

   • You don't have $50,000 in your bank account.
   • You have been a VIP within the last 12 real-life hours, and are still on a cooldown.
   • Your GTA Online freemode session may have too many VIPs or CEOs already. Each session can only have 10 VIPs or CEOs at a time.
