This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

  1. 2027
    First residence permit

    5 years, renewable for 5 years at a time.

Two passports
Usually not: new citizens are asked to give up their other citizenship.
  • Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
  • The investor visa remains tied to the investment certificate and does not create a naturalisation option.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
