How long does the SISC route take to get a decision?

Once your application is acknowledged by the Citizenship by Investment Unit, you can usually expect a decision within roughly 120 to 180 days. The outcome takes the form of an approval in principle, a denial, or a request for more time.

The timeline depends on the completeness of your file and how quickly due diligence clears, so a well-prepared application with clear source-of-funds evidence tends to move faster. Expedited processing may be available in some cases for an additional fee.
