Methodology
How this table is built
- Figures reflect prevailing industry terms, compiled 2026-08-11; official announcements govern, and each program page links its source.
- “Total” = minimum investment + government & due diligence, excluding the service fee, which runs $500–$8,000 by program and is quoted once after assessment — nothing hidden, nothing added mid-way.
- Default order is visa-free reach, which shifts with treaty changes; the count at passport issuance governs.
- No ordering is a recommendation. The right program depends on goals, budget, family structure, and timeline — which is what the 30–60 minute assessment answers.
