## Questions

**What is a golden visa?**

It is a media label, not one legal category. This repaired table separates investor residence, permanent residence, investor immigration, investor visas and business-linked permits. Only the Greek procedure used here carries “golden visa” in its official title.

**Which routes are included in this repaired article?**

This article contains 11 source-backed route records across 10 countries and 25 separately kept options. It is a bounded evidence subset, not a complete market inventory.

**What is the lowest euro-denominated figure?**

Malta's EUR 37,000 contribution is the lowest euro-denominated figure shown. It is not the total price: qualifying property or rent, a separate administration fee, insurance, donation and holding conditions also apply.

**Does a residence route give citizenship or tax residence?**

No such conclusion is made here. Residence, permanent residence, citizenship and tax residence are different legal outcomes. The routes below are not presented as citizenship grants, and tax residence was not established by this research.

**What should be checked before transferring funds?**

Check the exact option, current amount, fees, asset or business condition, holding rule, presence rule, family scope and nationality eligibility with the responsible authority. A live page or a transport-level HTTP success is not itself approval.
