Investment-activity eVisa

Multiple-entry investment visa for the approved stay; the portal lists visa validities of 90, 180, 365 or 730 days but says the permitted stay is the period on the approval. The visa is limited to the approved investment activity and period.

  • Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.

The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
