Cost reduction strategy
Obtaining St. Kitts and Dominica passports must first formally legalize naturalization to become a citizen of the country, and then apply for a passport as a citizen, so government fees are your fixed costs, and usually overseas lawyer fees are difficult to reduce. It is recommended to be cautious in the country. Choose an immigration agency and avoid intermediaries increasing fees through various reasons; if you have a familiar official channel for overseas lawyers, you may be able to save 10,000 US dollars in fees. If you understand English, you can even save another 5,000 US dollars, depending on you. Service content agreed with immigration agencies and lawyers.
The cost of Turkey is mainly attorney fees, immigration intermediaries, and real estate investment; the market is very chaotic because it is a new project. Each immigration agency is pushing its own real estate project. The Chinese people are very unaware of the regional environment of Turkey. It is recommended that if If you have friends in Europe, you can use them to ask about European immigration agencies or lawyers, and then compare the prices with domestic immigration agencies.
