The family pillar considers how easy it is to include immediate and extended family members in a primary application. Certainty of product looks at the Programme&#8217;s stability in five key areas: longevity, popularity and renown, stability, reputation and adaptability.\u00a0These major adjustments reflect the shifts in the investor immigration industry towards more family inclusiveness and the need for trustworthy programmes.
