The European Union
Immigrationchoice provides immigration consultancy and advises on matters relating to immigration to the European Union.
The European Union is politically stable and enjoys a very strong and expanding economy.The European Union is also multicultural and embrace many races, languages, religions and cultures and wherever you go in the EU, you’ll find fascinating places and meet interesting people.The EU countries are democratic and the laws are fair to everyone and prohibit any type of discrimination.
The future looks bright for the EU and the economy is one of the biggest and most expanding in the world. It is also stable and very active and the opportunities are endless, for work, investment and capital growth.
The standard of living is high and governments look after their citizens very well.
You have a very wide and interesting choice of communities, languages, scenery, cultures and facilities. Once you are an EU citizen, you can choose to live in any of the following EU country that you fancy:
Austria | Belgium | Bulgaria | Cyprus | Czech Republic | Denmark | Estonia | Finland | France | Germany | Greece | Hungary | Ireland | Italy | Latvia | Lithuania | Luxembourg | Malta | Netherlands | Poland | Portugal | Romania Slovakia | Slovenia | Spain | Sweden | United Kingdom
We can advice and secure for you residency in several EU countries. There are still several opportunities to reside in the EU and later acquire EU citizenship, but these opportunities are shrinking rapidly and action is needed sooner rather than later before the door closes forever.
Once you’re resident in one of the Schengen countries, you’ll be able to travel freely in the other Schengen countries.
Once you’re an EU citizen, you would be able to travel to most countries of the world without a visa.
Becoming an EU citizen is getting harder and more complicated and is now only limited to the privileged few. The requirements run into thousands and hundreds of thousands of Euros and for many countries such opportunity is no longer available. It is now very difficult to find a way to become an EU resident and then citizen without a massive investment and even with excellent credentials and lots of money, the procedure is still onerous and complicated. Many countries require anything between $400,000 and $1,000,000 of proposed investment in the country before they will consider you.
The EU immigration program:
We deal with all aspects of your application and offer you the grounds on which to apply.
We engage local reliable specialized immigration lawyers to complete the residency procedures.
The process is not very lengthy, nor unduly complicated and the requirements are not too onerous.
The amount of money required to migrate is reasonnable.
Almost anyone with no criminal record can qualify.
You can take your family including all your dependent children with you.
The immigration program we are recommending does not require the applicant to accumulate a number of points as in the Australian or Canadian system and once you engage us, we will follow up the formalities until you are granted residency in the EU country. All permissions will be issued by the relevant authorities and you will be required to pay a visit to the embassy to get your passport stamped.
Once you become a resident, it’ll be very easy to travel to the rest of Europe. But you must hurry while the doors are still open. They will not remain open forever. We have learned from past experience that such windows of opportunity are difficult to come by and once they close, that’s it nothing can be done, the opportunity is lost.
Once you have filled our free assessment form, we would be able to provide you with full assessment of your situation and suitability for immigration to the European Union.
Other special EU programs:
Austria
Austria is perhaps the only country in Europe which grants citizenship in a short period of time on the basis of investment in the country.
Each individual application is approved by the ministers and requires substantial investments in excess of E 2 million. The advantage is the speed in which citizenship is obtained but the disadvantage is the high level of required investment.
