According the provisions of the law in force, third-country citizens, granted for a permanent residency permit for property owners, can be accompanied by their family members, who will be granted the residence permit privileges too. These family members are considered: spouses, direct descendants of spouses who are under the age of 21, and direct relatives of spouses in the ascending line. Family members could either submit their application for initial residency permit simultaneously with the investor, or they have the option to submit it subsequently, whenever they enter the country. The family members are granted a residency permit of the same duration as the applicant. Family members have the same obligation pertaining to the collection of biometrics data. The requirement to provide their fingerprints applies to all third-country nationals over 6 years old, and the digital signature requirement applies to all citizens over the age of 12. The relationship of every family member with the investor should be proved through the related official document (e.g. birth certificate, marriage certificate, family status certificate).
