Citizenship by investment involves a qualifying investment, the relevant suitability confirmation and a separate citizenship assessment. Different investment routes have different financial, technical and retention requirements. An advertisement or purchase contract does not itself establish eligibility.
Legal requirements and important distinctions
Official property-investment guidance states a minimum of USD 400,000 and a three-year non-sale commitment for the relevant real-estate route. Recheck the rules at the transaction date and confirm that the property and transaction satisfy the required conditions. Purchase price, valuation, payment evidence, annotations and prior transaction history may matter. Other investment routes must not be assessed using the property's threshold.
Documents and practical preparation
Review the title and transaction structure before paying or granting transfer authority. Confirm which documents support suitability and which support residence or citizenship. Keep payment and valuation records consistent with the completed transaction. Plan each eligible family member's civil records separately, and do not rely on promises of a fixed outcome or decision date.
