SUV questions

Common decision points.

  • Designated organisations evaluate innovation, market potential, and scalability differently. We match founders to the body whose investment thesis aligns with their venture.

  • Permanent residency is granted at approval and is not contingent on venture success. PR is preserved as long as you meet the standard residency-day rules.

  • Up to 5 co-founders can apply on a single Letter of Support. Each must meet language and funds requirements individually.

  • Letter of Support: 3–9 months depending on organisation. PR processing after LoS: 12–18 months currently. Total typical timeline: 18–30 months.

Designated incubator slots are limited.
