How to use the estimator

Choose the broad setup route and the number of residence visas you want to explore. The calculator separates sample government charges from a sample MNK service fee and shows an indicative timeline.

Offshore is shown without residence visas. The estimate does not establish eligibility, confirm a permitted activity or include every possible approval, premises or ongoing operating cost.
