Everyone who thinks about moving to European countries is forced to resolve issues with obtaining an official status of residence. Citizenship is the most reliable way to immigrate. What are the options for obtaining a European citizen’s passport?

3 main ways to obtain citizenship

  1. Repatriation. This method of restoring citizenship is for those who prove their ethnic origin and involvement in the chosen country. In repatriation programs, the candidate is required to provide documents of an ancestor who was born or lived in the territory of an EU state. Experienced lawyers are convinced that repatriation is the easiest and fastest way to obtain EU citizenship, which is suitable for almost everyone. There are such programs in Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland and other countries. To find out if you will qualify for accelerated programs, as well as learn more about the conditions, leave a request on the website.
  2. Naturalization. The longest and not always effective way. Suitable for those who have been living in the country for a long time. The period of residence varies in individual states, usually 10-15 years. Also, to confirm that a person has successfully integrated into society, it is necessary to pass a language exam and confirm knowledge of the history and culture of the state.
  3. Investments. For wealthy people in many countries of the world there are investment programs for obtaining citizenship. The amount of investment, terms of receipt and other conditions are constantly changing and vary depending on the state. For more information, leave a request on the website or call us. Usually, in order to obtain citizenship through investment programs, it is required to invest at least 1 million euros in business, real estate, or make a contribution to the country’s funds. Such programs operate, for example, in Cyprus and Malta.

Also, individual countries have their own subtleties, for example, they allow dual citizenship only for citizens of certain countries, or only for those who received citizenship by investment or by marriage.
