I would add to that… lack of clarity on what exactly you’ll get in the end, and how long that will take to get - e.g.
- Unclear if (long) wait time after ARI submission counts towards years required for citizenship.
- Will current 5 years required for PT citizenship be doubled to 10? Not only is that 5 more years of your life, but a couple more expensive ARI renewals to pay for.
- If tax treatment is part of the attraction, no guarantee that current incentives will still be available in future.
- Will future governments make other ‘retroactive’ changes that can’t be fought against? This isn’t specifically a PT problem, but PT’s changed fundamental things in just the past couple years, so they have form in this regard.
