- Estimated budget
- The old ~US$5,000 fixed-deposit instant-PR route was eliminated. Now a solvency-based temporary residence (lower cost; fees ~US$5k–15k) that converts to PR after ~2 years, or a SUACE business commitment (~US$70,000 over time) for faster PR. Subject to current rules.

- Timeline
- SUACE business route roughly 90 days; the temporary-residence route reaches permanent residence after ~2 years. Subject to current rules.
