A common question is:
"I’m applying for the Golden Visa… Can I add my family? And how?"

Who Can You Sponsor?

Golden Visa holders can sponsor:

    • Birth and marriage certificates (legalized and translated if required)

    • Proof of your Golden Visa status

  2. Submit the Application Online

    • Upload all supporting documents and pay the applicable fees.

  3. Approval and Residency Issuance
