Costing methodology
Real Numbers, Plainly Sourced.
Every line is either pulled from an editor-maintained pricing row (CMS-priced) or computed from published programme schedules. No marketing math, no buried fees, no “from $X” teasers.
Government Schedules
Investment thresholds, processing fees, and DD charges sourced directly from the publishing authority (CBI Units, ministries, gazettes). Updated as soon as a change lands in our regulatory tracker.
See change logPath Adjustments
For CBI programmes, the calculator applies a multiplier reflecting the actual cost differential between donation, fund, and real-estate routes, published with each programme.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the all-in figure?
For CMS-priced programmes (every line published by our editorial team), the figure is within 2-5% of the realistic all-in cost. For heuristic-engine fallback programmes, expect 5-10% variance. Final pricing is provided only under written engagement.
Why does the total change when I pick a different investment route?
CBI programmes have distinct cost profiles per route. Donation routes are typically lowest, fund and real-estate routes carry adjusted government fees, registration charges, and (for real-estate) holding-period upkeep. The path-adjustment multipliers come from the published programme schedule.
What is the difference between CMS-priced programmes and the fallback engine?
CMS-priced programmes use line items entered by our editorial team, with every fee category itemised. The fallback engine derives an estimate from the headline investment plus published programme-type averages. Both figures are indicative, and only an engagement letter confirms the final cost.
Does the calculator include legal and translation costs?
Yes, when the programme is CMS-priced. Citizen Sure professional fees, approved-counsel rates, translation, courier, and biometric capture are itemised. The heuristic fallback estimates these as a percentage of the headline investment.

What does the cost calculator include?
It adds up the components each programme lists, such as the qualifying investment or contribution, government charges, due diligence and professional costs, for the family members you select.
Is the calculator result a quote?
No. It is an estimate based on published programme rules. Your final budget depends on your family, the route you choose and any rule changes.
Why does adding family members change the total?
Most programmes charge due diligence and government costs per person, and some set different rules for spouses, children and parents.
