Physical presence note
Program citizenship and day-to-day residence are separate questions; check any ongoing investment condition for the selected category.
PR & naturalization
These are investor citizenship categories, separate from ordinary naturalisation, marriage and entitlement routes.
Tax note
Citizenship does not by itself determine personal tax residence or reporting obligations. Tax advice is given only by a qualified tax professional.
Documents note
Expect enhanced identity, police, source-of-funds, financial-intelligence and family checks.
