Residence-by-investment review
A marketed investment is not automatically a suitable residence route.
Before committing capital, confirm the legal route, qualifying investment, residence rights, family position, source-of-funds evidence and independent professional advice.
02
Qualifying investment
Confirm the current asset, holding period, costs and exit conditions under the official program.
03
Due diligence
Verify the promoter, transaction, ownership and regulatory position before transferring money.
04
Independent advice
Use regulated legal, tax and financial professionals for decisions outside visa consulting.
What to check
Understand the route before collecting documents.
Understand what the residence permits
Residence, work, travel and citizenship rights are not identical and should be checked separately.
