What Our Clients Say
Thank you Can Axis for guidance and giving me helpful advice to migrate to my favourite destination country. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate immigration assistance.
I had a great experience with Can Axis Immigration. Thank you to the entire team for your support — I am so happy to have received my visa. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this journey.
I tried a lot of agencies that process visas, and a lot of them provided unnecessary information — it was a real struggle. Not until I spoke with the Can Axis team, they were of great help.
Everything You Need to Know
The programme is open to individuals who meet the eligibility criteria, including a clean criminal record, good health, and a minimum investment in real estate or contribution to the Sustainable Growth Fund. It is particularly attractive to high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and investors seeking greater global mobility and a reliable second citizenship.
Generally sooner rather than later — the minimum investment required may increase in future, and the programme may be subject to changes in legislation or policy that impact eligibility or the application process.
The passport obtained through the citizenship by investment programme is valid for ten years, and may be renewed upon payment of a fee.
Visa-free travel to over 150 countries, the ability to live, work, and study in the country, and a reliable second citizenship — from a politically stable, economically sound nation with a reputation for attracting high-net-worth individuals and investors.
Typically four to six months from submission, including due diligence checks, investment processing, and issuance of citizenship and passport. Processing times may vary depending on individual circumstances and application volume.
You will need a licensed representative to help you apply for citizenship by investment. Working with a reputable, experienced service provider is highly recommended, since the process can be complex and a small error or omission could cause significant delays or rejection.
