Residency 2026

planner

Time for an updated thread!


There are many many rumors making the rounds!  ***there is no change in the law YET! ***


I am told the Director of Investment is no longer accepting 200,000 US or equivalent for investor residency, it's now 500,000 US or equivalent.  However, neither will get you an Investor Visa and without that there is no residency!!! Wow, that makes so much sense!


And dependents of investors are no longer being given investor residency!


Legalizations are no longer accepted if "notarized".  They must be legalized by the original issuing authority.  More run around.


Supposedly, there is a new law coming!!!  For now, your lawyer may not be misleading you.  They may not have mislead you.  Changes are being made retroactively on cases!  Everyone is trying to keep up.  Those lawyers who are not specializing in residency may not be up to date!


All we can do is hang tight until a policy is actually published OR a law is actually changed!

Those are some big changes...


Can you explain this --- Legalizations are no longer accepted if "notarized".  They must be legalized by the original issuing authority

For example a statement of pension income must be legalized at source.  Not taken elsewhere to be notarized as authentic

Again none of this has changed, by law, yet!

They dont need to, they make up the rules as they go...
