- Investment minimums are indicative (“from” or “typically”) and are confirmed by the program at consultation.
- Government contributions and due-diligence fees are set by the program and shown to you separately.
- Timelines are typically measured in months after due diligence; we give a realistic estimate up front.
- No firm can guarantee approval — every applicant is subject to government due diligence.
What we will ask from you
- Valid passports and civil-status documents for every applicant
- Police certificates and proof of the source of funds
- Proof of the qualifying investment or contribution
- Certified copies and, where needed, certified translations
