While no mention is made in the letter of the nature of the qualifying investment, our confidential source has indicated the pre-approval pertains to an individual applying under the EUR 200,000 fund-donation option. The same source also indicated at least 10 such pre-approval letters have already been issued.
The pre-approval is issued upon an applicant’s successfully passing due diligence and background checks, but prior to the transfer of the principal sum and the formal submission of the application. Nonetheless, barring any untoward information about the applicant surfacing in the interim between the issuance of the pre-approval and his/her completion of the final steps (submitting the application forms, providing biometric data, and transferring the EUR 200,000), the pre-approved applicant is essentially home free.
Presuming the document is genuine, it marks the first known instance of official government acknowledgment of the program. Nonetheless, a direct and explicit announcement or press conference from the government officially confirming the program’s bona fides would be the last piece of the puzzle to finally putting doubts to rest and opening the floodgates to higher application volumes.
