Why are Malta citizenship, Spain and the old Greece and EB-5 numbers not here?

Malta's MEIN was repealed in July 2025 after the EU Court of Justice ruling (Case C-181/23). Spain's investor residence ended on 3 April 2025. Greece's current tiers took effect 1 September 2024, and EB-5 minimums have been US$800,000 and US$1,050,000 since 15 March 2022. Older pages still show the previous figures.

Mandatory government, due-diligence and processing fees are extra and per person; professional agent and lawyer fees are never included. Malta's MEIN citizenship scheme was repealed in 2025 and Spain's investor residence ended on 3 April 2025, so neither is listed.
