Questions About the Investment Visa
Is the investment refundable?
It depends on the programme. Some routes involve a business investment, some a property purchase and others a government contribution. We explain the risks and conditions before you commit.
Can my family be included?
Many investor routes include a spouse and dependent children. The exact definition of dependants differs by country.
Do I need to live in the country?
Some programmes require a minimum physical presence to maintain residency, while others are more flexible. We confirm the current conditions for each route.
Is there a guaranteed path to citizenship?
No route should be treated as a guarantee. Residency and citizenship timelines depend on the programme, your ongoing compliance and government decisions.
