Before you commit
What happens after my initial inquiry?
Tijana and the team review your circumstances, check the route and provider fit, and explain the proposed next step. You receive a defined scope and quote before work begins.
Can you help compare this with another route?
Yes. We can scope a comparison around your income, business, family, travel and long-term plans before you commit to a jurisdiction or application.
Does the application resolve my tax position?
Tax residence, income treatment and departure-country obligations need their own review. We can include the relevant analysis in the wider engagement rather than leave those questions until after the application.
Which family members can apply?
Qualifying dependants; extra contributions and due diligence depend on age
How long will the work take?
SISC page: 120–180 days to notification, which can include delay We distinguish any official processing target or permission duration from document preparation, appointments and the overall engagement.
Discuss your citizenship plans
Tell Tijana and the team your current citizenships, who would apply with you, what you want another citizenship to achieve and your target timing. We will assess the fit and outline the next step. There is no charge for the initial inquiry.
