Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can obtain the Golden Visa?

The Golden Visa can be obtained for up to 6 people. Typically, this includes the parents and up to 4 financially dependent children under the age of 18. Eligibility for the visa remains valid as long as the house or apartment is owned. The visa in the passport must be renewed every 2 years and costs US$500 for the main applicant and US$50 for each additional person.

What are the additional costs?

There is an annual fee for city services such as waste collection, disposal, sewage, and other amenities. The fee is $1.10 per square meter of living space per month, multiplied by 12 months. For example, an apartment of 50 sqm incurs a monthly cost of $55, resulting in an annual upfront payment of $660. In premium developments with private pools, gyms, concierge services, and other facilities, the base city service fee remains $1.10 per sqm, with an additional charge of $2 per sqm for extended services.

Is the power grid reliable?

The city is home to many digital nomads and internet freelancers. Therefore, the city offers a backup power supply that automatically activates when the power supply fails. This option can be booked individually for $0.09 per square meter. For a 50 square meter apartment, the additional cost for automatic backup power is only $4.50 per month.
