What is a Golden Visa?
“Golden Visa” is a common term for residency‑by‑investment programs offered by some countries. While each country sets its own investment thresholds and paperwork, applicants typically need background checks, proof of funds, and civil documents that must be legalized for use abroad — usually by apostille under the Hague Convention or by consular legalization where apostille is not accepted.
Below is a practical checklist to help you prepare documents for apostille, plus how we can handle FBI Channeling for your background check.
Typical documents requested
- FBI Identity History Summary (background check)
- State background check (if requested)
- Passport copy
- Birth / Marriage / Divorce certificates
- Proof of address
- Bank or investment letters
- Academic records / diplomas
- Corporate records (if applying via company)
Apostille/Legalization checklist
- Obtain a certified copy issued by the vital records office (recently issued if the destination country requires freshness).
- If required in your state, get County Clerk certification for the notary/official signature.
- Submit for State Apostille (for U.S. state‑issued records) or U.S. Department of State Apostille (for federal records).
- Translation by a sworn/official translator if the destination country requires it (often after apostille; some consulates require before — verify).
- Live Scan fingerprinting appointment (we capture your prints electronically).
- We submit to an FBI‑Approved Channeler for your Identity History Summary (a.k.a. FBI background check).
- Receive your result electronically; request a hard‑copy original on security paper if your destination requires apostille.
- We route the result for federal apostille (U.S. Department of State) or authentication/consular legalization if the destination is not a Hague member.
Processing times and acceptance standards vary by country. Some programs require the FBI report to be issued within a recent window (e.g., 30–90 days) — verify current rules.
- Passport copy certification by a Notary Public (destination may specify language for notarial certificate).
- Bank/investment letters or affidavits: prepare on letterhead, sign before a Notary.
- We obtain County (if required) and then State Apostille for notarized documents.
- Request official copies from the school or registrar.
- Some states require a school official’s notarized statement or a notarized copy of the diploma.
- Proceed with State Apostille; translations as required.
- Articles/Good Standing: obtain certified copies from the Secretary of State.
- Operating Agreements/Board Resolutions: notarize authorized signatures.
- We obtain the State Apostille where the document was issued/notarized.
