No. The real-estate investment route was removed in October 2023. Current qualifying routes are: investment funds (€500K), cultural-heritage donations (€250K), business creation, and research projects. We track legislative reform that may further extend the citizenship timeline.
Yes — once your application is approved, you and your family receive permanent residency directly. The program requires a Letter of Support from a designated organisation (venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator). We have working relationships with several designated organisations.
There is no statutory minimum, but USCIS evaluates on a sliding scale relative to the business size. In practice, $150K+ is a typical floor for service businesses; smaller for sole proprietorships, larger for capital-intensive sectors. We model substantiality before filing.
Not directly. E-2 is non-immigrant. Green-card pathways from E-2 typically run through EB-1 (extraordinary ability), EB-2 NIW (national interest waiver), or EB-5 (investor-based). We map the EB transition into the long-term plan.
No. Capital that’s locked, illiquid, or non-producing usually destroys returns even when the visa works. We do exit-modeling at the vetting stage — if an opportunity’s exit options aren’t clear, we don’t file the visa.
Service fees are quoted in writing after the consultation, broken out by visa filing, business-plan drafting, source-of-funds tracing, and any third-party costs. Government fees and audit costs are passed through at cost.
