Avoid these

- Buying property before checking the visa conditions. Not every purchase qualifies.
- Accepting a job offer you have not verified.
- Mixing up the Golden and Green visas. The tests are different.
- Relying on social media summaries. Check the official source.
A mistake you only find after you lodge is the hardest to fix. Talk to us before you apply.
