Frequently asked questions

Is a starting amount the full budget?

The starting amount usually covers the investment or contribution. The full budget also includes government fees, due diligence, dependants, services, certification and ongoing administration.

Can the whole family use one application?

Dependant eligibility rests on the programme’s relationship, age and dependency criteria. Each family member needs supporting documents.

Can approval or timing be guaranteed?

Authorities decide applications. Additional documents, screening and individual circumstances can affect timing; estimates are not approval guarantees.

Does status settle banking, tax and travel questions?

Banks assess account applications independently. Tax residence depends on tax law and personal circumstances; travel access depends on the passport and destination entry conditions.
