How long is AIMA currently taking to schedule a first ARI biometrics appointment?
The fund subscription is complete and the online application was submitted. What is a realistic wait before the biometrics slot, and is there anything that shortens it?

Following the online submission of the Golden Visa application, we are currently seeing biometric appointments being scheduled approximately one to two months after submission.
Once the appointment notification is received, the appointment itself is currently being scheduled approximately five to seven months later.
Therefore, based on the current processing times we are seeing, applicants should generally expect the biometric appointment to take place approximately six to nine months after the initial online submission of the Golden Visa application.
