Frequently asked questions
Who is the GIP suitable for?
The GIP is primarily designed for entrepreneurs with a strong track record in business, and high-net-worth individuals. Applicants must meet significant asset and investment thresholds to qualify.
What is the difference between the GIP and the Self-Employed EP Scheme?
The GIP is a direct pathway to obtain Permanent Resident (PR) status, with high requirements for assets and business scale. The Self-Employed EP is suitable for early-stage market entrants or applicants with lighter commitments.
Is the GIP only applicable to family offices?
Not entirely. While a family office is one of the available options under the GIP, there are multiple investment pathways, including setting up a new business, or investing in an existing company.
