Investor Visas

Investor visas and residence cards are granted by reference to the amount of capital actually contributed, not the amount registered. The tiers determine the term you receive, and the difference between them is significant.

Wise Counsel advises foreign investors on the investor visa route and on structuring the investment so the intended term is available.

What we help with

• Advising on the capital thresholds and the visa term available at each level
• Structuring the investment and the capital contribution schedule
• Evidencing actual capital contribution rather than registered capital
• Applying for the investor visa and the corresponding residence card
• Applications for family members accompanying the investor
• Advising on maintaining the investment to preserve the residence status
• Advising on the consequences of divesting or reducing the investment
• Coordinating the investment registration and the immigration application

Registering a large capital figure does not by itself secure the longer term. What matters is contributed capital, evidenced through the investment capital account.
