Do not apply one investment, salary or qualification threshold to all residence options. Choose the official category and read its current guidance.

Questions

Are these files guaranteed to be accepted?

We prepare files to the selected instructions. The authority or provider reviews the application, and unpublished upload fields still need confirmation.

Do I need every document before preparing my photo?

No. Choose only the files you need to prepare now. Missing official evidence remains a separate application step.
