Following initial government review (approx. 2 weeks), a preliminary approval is issued, confirming that due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An official Approval in Principle is provided, allowing progression to the next stage.
Upon receipt of Approval in Principle, the required investment or contribution is completed in accordance with program guidelines. All remaining documentation, including proof of payment, is finalized and submitted to facilitate issuance of the citizenship certificate.
Upon approval, the Certificate of Citizenship is issued, followed by passport production. The entire process is typically completed within approximately 60 days. The passport is then securely delivered, granting full rights and benefits of citizenship.
