VietnamFive questions to ask before signing
1. Are all fees set out in writing?
Ask for every service fee and third-party cost (government fees, translation, medicals) in writing, and confirm no extra charges after you sign.
2. What if the application is refused?
Understand the refund terms: is the service fee refunded in full? What are the exceptions (such as false information from the applicant)? Can you switch programmes?
3. How are investment projects vetted?
The biggest risk in investment immigration (such as EB-5) is the project. Ask whether the consultant independently reviews its track record, capital structure and exit terms, and ask for a summary.
4. Who handles my application?
Confirm a professional team prepares and reviews your documents, not an unnamed third party, and whether further documents or resubmission cost extra.
5. Will they be honest about risks and chances?
A good consultant assesses your background before you sign and tells you if you’re not ready, rather than selling one option.
Warning signs
| Warning sign | Why |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed approval | Decisions rest with governments |
| Guaranteed return of investment | Incompatible with at-risk rules such as EB-5’s |
| Recommending a programme before assessing you | It may not suit you |
| Vague fees, or price rises after signing | A lack of transparency |
Our approach
Our service agreement sets out three guarantees: a full refund of service fees paid if refused; no extra charge for further documents or resubmission; and a professional team, with fees fixed at signing.
