Frequently Asked
Answers, before you ask.
A concise briefing on the questions we hear most from private clients evaluating global residency.
Which Golden Visa program is right for me?
It depends on your goals — EU access, tax efficiency, retirement, or asset protection. Our advisors match your profile against Greece, Portugal, Hungary, UAE, Panama, and Thailand to recommend the shortest, most cost-efficient pathway.
What is the minimum investment required?
Entry points range from ~$50k (Panama Friendly Nations) to €250k (Greece property) and €500k+ (Portugal fund routes). UAE and Thailand offer non-investment long-term residency options for qualifying individuals.
How long does the process typically take?
Most programs issue initial residency within 3–8 months from a complete application. Timelines vary by jurisdiction, due diligence complexity, and whether you're relocating dependents.
Do I need to relocate or spend time in-country?
Physical presence requirements differ significantly. Portugal and Greece have minimal stay requirements; UAE requires periodic visits; Panama and Hungary are flexible. We map this to your lifestyle before you commit.
Will a Golden Visa lead to citizenship?
Several programs offer a citizenship pathway after 5–10 years of legal residency, subject to language, tax, and integration criteria. We outline the full timeline during your consultation.
How are your advisory services structured?
We work on a transparent flat-fee basis with a discovery call, program selection, application management, and post-approval support. No commissions from developers or funds — our advice is independent.
