Family-friendly programs

While all programs offer the option of including some of your family members, the conditions vary greatly. Children can always be included but most programs impose an age limit (the limit may be as low as 18 and as high as 30), and there may be other criteria as well (e.g. whether your children are married, or whether they are from a previous marriage). Your parents can be included in some but not all programs. If your top priority is ensuring that all your loved ones can enjoy the benefits of your new residency as well, have a look at our most family-friendly programs below – or discuss your specific family situation with one of our advisors and nobody will be left out!
