Notes on assumptions
- Government fees are taken from each programme's applicationFeeUSD or, for CBI programmes, the individual headline cost. Verify against the official source URL shown on the programme page.
- Legal/agent fee ranges reflect the typical market — straightforward residency visas often run $1,500–$5,000 with a competent relocation lawyer; CBI programmes run $20,000–$60,000+ including due-diligence fees and licensed-agent commissions.
- Document preparation covers apostilles, translations, certified copies, FBI background check (US applicants), and miscellaneous notarisations. $300–$1,000 per applicant is typical.
- Housing deposit assumes you sign a 12-month lease in the destination city — usually 1–3 months' rent up front.
- Landing buffer assumes three months of cost-of-living in the destination, partly covering arrival logistics, deposits for utilities, and unexpected gaps before income arrives.
