Forestry investment

Forestry investment

Who may qualify?

Applicants investing in an eligible reforestation project.

Amount or financial condition

The threshold depends on the applicable subcategory.

What does this mean in practice?

The investment must qualify under the forestry immigration framework; purchasing any rural land is not enough.

Documents to prepare

Investment evidence, project registration and lawful source-of-funds records.

Before applying

Verify the project and applicable immigration regime before committing capital.

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.
