The most common pitfalls are withdrawing the investment too early, letting the residence card expire, and failing to keep required documents or conditions current.
The single biggest risk is treating the investment as a one-off entry ticket. Because the status depends on maintaining the qualifying investment for the prescribed period, withdrawing or reducing it too soon can lead to revocation.
Other frequent mistakes include letting the physical residence card lapse instead of renewing it on time, and not keeping supporting documents such as proof of investment and insurance up to date. Because the rules are detailed and can change, work from the official requirements and seek professional advice before making or unwinding any investment.
