Dependents of residents
Dependents of residents
Who may qualify?
Qualifying family members of a principal applicant.
Amount or financial condition
Additional financial requirements depend on the main program.
What does this mean in practice?
Eligibility may depend on relationship, age, studies and financial dependence.
Documents to prepare
Marriage or birth certificates and supporting dependency evidence.
Before applying
Assess each family member individually.
Understanding the amounts
The figures describe qualifying capital, deposits or income, not the price of residency. Government fees, translations, legalization, banking expenses and professional fees are separate.
Typical application stages
The first step is to review nationality, family or professional ties and evidence of eligibility. The applicant then prepares legalized or apostilled records, files the application and responds to any official requests.
Dependents and employment
Dependent eligibility follows the specific program rules. Residence does not itself grant authorization to take local paid employment; work-permit requirements must be assessed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is the stated amount a payment to immigration? No. An investment or deposit is qualifying capital subject to legal conditions. Is approval automatic? No. The authority assesses the application.
