Golden Visa / ARI
Legal support for ARI holders and family members in preparing, submitting and monitoring renewals.
Legal support
ARI renewal requires checking the stage of the process, maintenance of applicable requirements, documents and coordination with family members.
A Golden Visa / ARI renewal should be prepared before it becomes urgent, especially where family members, foreign documents or AIMA communications are involved.
Many holders seek support when the process is stalled, scheduling is difficult or they are unsure which documents should be updated.
An initial review should include the ARI card, process evidence, AIMA communications and family members’ documents where applicable.

The communication, deadline and documents already filed should be reviewed. The response should be consistent with the process and the issues raised.
