Yes. Each programme is created by that country's own legislation, and applications are filed through government-licensed agents. What varies is the standard of due diligence — which is why we only work with programmes that run proper background checks, and why a clean record and documented source of funds are non-negotiable.

For most programmes on this page, no — you never need to set foot there. Antigua & Barbuda is the exception, requiring five days in the country within your first five years. Türkiye has no residency requirement but locks your investment for three years.

Pakistan permits dual nationality only with a specified list of countries, and that list does not cover every programme here. This is the single most important thing to check before you invest, and we check it against your specific circumstances at the free assessment — before any money moves.

Vanuatu is the quickest at roughly two to four months. Caribbean programmes typically run four to six. Türkiye takes six to eight, and Egypt and Jordan are slower and less predictable. Those ranges assume your documents arrive complete — collection and attestation is usually what delays a file, not the government.

The headline figure is the investment or donation itself, for a single applicant. On top of it sit government processing fees, due diligence fees per applicant, agent fees and our own fixed fee. We give you the full stack in writing before you commit — never just the headline.

Under most programmes the investment is only paid after approval in principle, so a refusal at due diligence stage does not put the investment at risk — though processing and due diligence fees are generally not refundable. We assess honestly upfront rather than filing a case we expect to fail.

Not by itself. Tax generally follows residence, not citizenship, and Pakistani tax residents remain taxable on that basis. Take advice from a qualified tax professional before treating any programme as a tax plan — we advise on immigration, not tax.
