@tkrunning, is it possible to make this thread a āstickyā so that it will appear at the top of the topic list? Iāve found this database to be helpful, and sometimes its a struggle to find it.
Results table:
Credit and thanks to @loheiman for creating this spreadsheet and the original post.
Thanks for making this thread, agreed this is a good idea
Great spreadsheet, but I have tried to edit, and separately provided updated information, to no avail. Can someone please advise how we can update our information on this for the benefit of the group?
Submit your timeline again and I can delete your old one. Or provide a comment in the sheet with new dates and Iāll add them.
Done on the sheet via comments. Please let me know if you donāt see them.
I also added an update via a comment.
I havenāt seen any new entries added to this spreadsheet in the past monthā¦ do you think there is a problem with the form?
Are people able to update their original entries or will a new entry be added when they submit (just wondering if there are double entries)?
There is an issue with the āResponses by Form Submission Dateā tab not automatically updating when new entries are made. I have to manually refresh/force it to pull in new data from the raw responses tab. It doesnāt take long for me to do but it is manual.
I wish I had made the sheet directly editable. I can still do that but Iām concerned about exposing peopleās emails/names without their consent and there does need to be some unique identifier to allow people to update their timeline when updates happen. Any ideas for how to make this transition would be great.
Unfortunately I donāt have any suggestions on the database transition, but I do appreciate you being careful with everyoneās personal information.
Thank you again for creating this database.
I could mask a portion of peopleās names/identifier eg. Dave@gmail.com could be D***e@gmail.com. That plus the form submission and application date should be enough for people to find their entry and update it.
That works for me! Thanks for the database and for your sensitivity to personal info disclosure.
I have entered my details. Hopefully it will be received.
Hello, thank you for sharing this database. I have a question. All those participants are applying by themselves for the Golden Visa or they have a consultant for completing all these procedures?
I think that thereās probably both. Some handle it on their own, and others have a lawyer/consultant. My sense is that a majority on the forum are using a lawyer or consulting group.
After these last couple of years for me personally, Iām thankful I didnāt try to do this own my own.
wonāt it be useful to add citizenship to statistics? It might bring some light on āRussiansā cases at least and probably show the dependence of processing time on citizenship.
Is there a current timeline tracker for Golden visas? The link above stops in September.
There hasnāt been much, if any, movement since.
Wanted to update the group on our Golden Visa timeline. We invested in a fund, as background.

Total timeline: 23 months to full family approval.
Hope that info helps someone on here.
