Programme Pathways

Citizenship and residence provide different legal outcomes.

The correct pathway depends on whether you require immediate citizenship, a right of residence, a future relocation option or a longer-term route towards settlement.

01
Citizenship by Investment

A direct citizenship pathway.

Selected jurisdictions provide citizenship to eligible applicants and qualifying family members following an approved contribution or investment and comprehensive due diligence.

  • Citizenship status rather than renewable residence
  • Enhanced background and source-of-funds checks
  • Family inclusion subject to programme rules
  • Applications coordinated with licensed local specialists
Explore Citizenship Programmes Available only in selected jurisdictions and subject to programme eligibility.
02
Residence by Investment

A legal right to reside.

Residence programmes may provide permission to live in a selected jurisdiction following an eligible investment, contribution or other qualifying commitment.

  • Renewable residence rather than immediate citizenship
  • Ongoing investment or renewal requirements may apply
  • Physical-presence conditions vary by jurisdiction
  • Settlement or citizenship may become possible later
Explore Residence Programmes Residence rights, renewals and future citizenship rules differ between jurisdictions.

Start with the rights you need—not the programme being promoted.

We compare family eligibility, residence obligations, investment structure, timing, renewal requirements and long-term legal outcomes before recommending a route.

Programme rules and availability can change. Investment thresholds, government fees, family eligibility, processing arrangements and physical-presence requirements must be confirmed against the current official programme rules before any decision or commitment is made.

Programme Comparison

We compare more than investment thresholds.

The lowest-cost or fastest-looking programme may not provide the rights, family coverage or long-term practicality you need.

01

Legal Status

Citizenship, temporary residence, permanent residence and settlement potential are legally different outcomes.

02

Family Inclusion

Spouses, children, parents and other dependants may be treated differently between programmes.

03

Investment Structure

Contributions, property, funds and business investments create different obligations and risks.

04

Physical Presence

Some routes require limited presence, while others require meaningful residence for renewal or future citizenship.

05

Timing & Due Diligence

Processing expectations must account for evidence, background checks and government review.

06

Long-Term Use

The status should support the family’s intended travel, relocation, education and business plans.

The correct programme is the one that works in practice.

Our comparison begins with the client’s required rights, family circumstances, preferred timeline and long-term objectives.

Due Diligence & Source of Funds

Strong applications begin with transparent evidence.

Investment migration programmes commonly require detailed background, identity, business and source-of-funds evidence. Preparation should begin before any application is filed.

Due diligence is a central part of the programme—not a formality added at the end.
01

Initial Risk Review

Review nationality, residence history, business activity, public profile and any potential disclosure issues.

02

Identity & Background

Prepare civil-status, travel, residence, professional and background documentation for the family.

03

Source of Wealth

Explain how the applicant accumulated their overall wealth through business, employment, investment, inheritance or other lawful activity.

04

Source of Investment Funds

Trace the specific funds being used for the qualifying contribution or investment.

05

Independent Verification

Coordinate supporting evidence from banks, accountants, lawyers and other appropriate professionals.

VIZ Global does not guarantee approval or clearance through government due diligence. All applicants must provide complete, accurate and verifiable information.

Family & Long-Term Planning

The programme must work for every family member.

Family inclusion, age limits, dependency, education, renewal and future citizenship should be assessed before choosing a programme.

01

Spouses & Partners

Confirm whether a spouse or qualifying partner can be included from the beginning or added later.

02

Children

Review age, dependency, study status and programme-specific conditions for children.

03

Parents & Dependants

Assess whether parents or other permitted dependants can be included and what evidence is required.

04

Future Generations

Consider how status may affect future children, inheritance, renewals and long-term family mobility.

A programme should still work when the family’s circumstances change.

The strategy should consider later marriage, new children, children reaching adulthood, changing residence plans and ongoing renewal obligations.

Our Advisory Process

From initial objectives to programme implementation.

We separate strategic assessment from programme selection so the recommendation is based on the client—not on a promoted product.

Establish family, mobility, business, timing and jurisdictional objectives.

02 Assessment

Review

Assess eligibility, nationality, family inclusion and potential due-diligence considerations.

03 Comparison

05 Delivery
