Clear limitation

What this does not give

Residence is not citizenship; the direct property purchase route is no longer available.

  • Approval rests with the authority

    Only the issuing government or its unit can approve, refuse, or revoke an application.

  • No outcome can be promised

    No adviser can guarantee a decision. Any claim of assured approval is a warning sign.

  • Rules can change after publication

    Thresholds, fees, and criteria are set by the authority and may change — confirm before you commit.
