Each country has specific requirements the applicant must meet to be able to apply for its citizenship or residency by investment programs. Some of the basic conditions are being over 18 years of age, having a clean criminal record, a legal source of funds and investing in one of the government-approved options.

Governments contract independent third-party Due Diligence Agencies who use intelligence tools to check the applicants' background. These checks include verification of all documents issued by official institutions at the applicant's country of origin and residence, media reports, verification of their businesses and companies the applicant owns or is related with. The Government also carries out a vetting of the applicant by law enforcement agencies and INTERPOL to ensure a clean criminal record. Once all checks have been finished the Government draws a decision.

Some exceptional programs also accept siblings of the main applicant and wife within certain criteria.
