Application Conditions and Application Costs
The MM2H visa application has two stages: “Document application” and “Main application”. The first stage, “Document Application,” is a document review, which mainly looks at the applicant’s income and asset status.

Application conditions vary depending on the age of the applicant, so please check the applicable application conditions. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if it is difficult to judge whether you meet the conditions.
