Frequently asked questions

A Golden Visa is a residence permit obtained via qualifying investment. It generally allows you and eligible family members to live, study, and travel within the Schengen Area. Eligibility rules and timelines vary by country; your independent lawyer will advise on the specifics.

Typical benefits include:

• Visa-free travel within Schengen (26 countries)
• Right to live and study in the host country
• Potential path to permanent residency or citizenship after a lawful residence period
• Ability to include spouse/partner and dependents (country rules apply)
• Generally modest physical-presence requirements vs. standard residency

We coordinate investor-residency applications in partnership with independent, licensed lawyers, primarily for Portugal and Italy.

Our coordination team operates with local partners on the ground; all legal advice and filings are handled by your chosen independent lawyer.

Generally yes, subject to country rules:

• Spouse/partner and dependent children
• Adult children if studying or financially dependent (age limits vary)
• Dependent parents (age/means requirements vary)

We’re used to complex family structures; your independent lawyer will confirm eligibility and evidence needed.

Total outlay includes the qualifying investment plus fees and third-party costs:

• Investment: typically €250k–€500k+ depending on route/country
• Government fees: vary by program and family size
• Legal fees: billed by your independent lawyer under a separate engagement
• Translations/apostilles: based on document volume

We publish transparent admin pricing for our coordination work. We don’t take success fees or fund commissions. If a marketing/coordination fee ever applies in a jurisdiction, we disclose it upfront.

Use our information-only fund directory to view standardized facts (fees, auditors, terms, reported AUM, strategy description) with links to source documents.

• No ratings, recommendations, or risk/return opinions
• Filters to narrow by eligibility criteria and mechanics
• Introductions to licensed investment advisers if you want advice

We do not provide investment advice. Speak to a licensed adviser about suitability, risk, and expected returns.

Tax outcomes depend on personal circumstances and country rules (e.g., Portugal’s regime, tax residency triggers, treaty relief). We’ll introduce you to independent tax advisers and coordinate information flow. We don’t give tax advice.

We control the admin pace; authorities control decisions. Our internal targets:

• Checklist in 24–48h after onboarding
• File-ready pack ≈ 10 business days once documents are complete
• SLA ≤ 2h weekday responses from your coordinator

Official processing timelines vary by authority and season; your independent lawyer will set expectations for your case.

Since 2021 we’ve coordinated thousands of applications across Portugal and Italy. The quality signals we track and can evidence:

• High first-pass acceptance of filings (as advised by counsel)
• Low rework from missing/incorrect documents
• Consistent SLA performance and audit trails

Approval decisions are made by the government. We don’t guarantee outcomes — we make the process disciplined and complete.

Investor residency routes typically have modest presence rules. Illustratively:

Your independent lawyer will confirm requirements for your nationality and route.

• Independent-counsel model: you engage licensed lawyers directly; we coordinate the process.
• PI & Cyber cover: appropriate insurance for our admin scope; counsel maintain their own PI (evidence on request).
• Documented process: SOPs, checklists, and audit trails that reduce rework and delays.
• No conflicted incentives: information-only fund directory; no ratings, recommendations, or success fees.
• Founder-led execution: single coordinator accountability and fast SLAs.

• Admin done right: we own the paperwork, logistics, translations, apostilles, scheduling, and submissions.
• Independent experts: introductions to vetted lawyers, tax advisers, and (if requested) licensed investment advisers.
• Moving Hub ecosystem: banking, schools, utilities, community, and vetted vendors all in one place.
• Radical transparency: published disclosures and scopes — no legal/tax/investment advice from us.

• 24–48h: tailored checklist + onboarding
• Within a week: introduction to independent counsel and scheduling of your legal strategy call
• ~10 business days: file-ready pack after complete documents

Government timelines are outside our control. Your lawyer will brief you on expected processing windows.

Most programs renew every ~2 years, subject to maintaining the investment and presence rules. Your independent lawyer handles renewals; we coordinate documents and logistics.

Eligibility depends on the country (e.g., Portugal often 5 years of lawful residence with A2 language; Italy is typically longer and has different criteria). Your lawyer will confirm the exact path and documentation.
