Frequently asked questions
Which visa route is right for me?
It depends on whether you plan to work, run a business, study or live on passive income. Each route on this page lists who it is for.
Does my nationality change the process?
Yes. Where you apply, which documents you need and how long it takes can vary by nationality. Choose your nationality on this page to see the details.
Can you help with the application?
Yes. An adviser can check your eligibility, prepare your documents and coordinate the application with you.
Do I need a job offer to move here?
Not always. Investment, business, retirement and family routes may be open without a job offer, depending on the country.
Can my family move with me?
Most residence routes allow a spouse and dependent children to apply with you. Rules for parents and adult children vary.
Can my family be included in a citizenship application?
Most citizenship by investment programmes let the main applicant include a spouse and children, and some also allow parents or other dependants.
Each programme defines eligible dependants by age, financial dependency and relationship, and every family member goes through due diligence. Additional government and due diligence fees usually apply per dependant.
Can my family join me on a golden visa?
Yes, most golden visa routes allow a spouse and dependent children to be included, and some also cover dependent parents.
Family members receive their own permits linked to the main investor's status, so renewals and any changes to the investment can affect the whole family.
