The advertised investment amount is only one part of the budget. A realistic plan includes government charges, due diligence, professional fees, translations, legalisation, banking, travel, dependants, insurance, tax advice, and ongoing investment or renewal costs.
Separate one-time and recurring costs
One-time costs may include applications, due diligence, professional work, and issuance. Recurring costs may include renewals, property management, fund administration, insurance, and tax compliance.
Model the downside
Ask about refusal and refund rules, resale restrictions, currency exposure, liquidity, and what happens if the programme changes. Request a written, line-by-line schedule identifying official charges, professional fees, optional services, and estimates.
Confirm current fees before transferring funds.
