What Affects the Cost?

Investment Type — the main factor. The minimum threshold varies from €250,000 (cultural heritage) to €500,000 (investment funds, scientific research, business creation).

Family Size — government fees are charged for each family member. Children under 18 receive a 50% discount.

Fund Commissions — when investing in funds, consider the management fee (usually 1.5-2.5% per year) and possible entry/exit fees.

Legal Support — the cost depends on the complexity of the case and the chosen law firm. We recommend working with proven specialists experienced in Golden Visa.
