Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest European residency route?
It depends on your profile: study for younger applicants, work visas for professionals, passive-income routes like Portugal's D7 for others. A 'cheapest' answer without a profile is advertising, not advice.
What budget do I need?
Study routes start around €10–15k per year; investment routes from ~€250k. At the assessment we give you the real number for your route.
When does residency lead to a passport?
Most countries grant PR after ~5 years of legal residence, then citizenship (usually 5–10 years depending on the country), subject to language and clean record.
Can my family come with me?
In most routes yes — spouses and children under 18 usually get dependent permits. We cover each country's details in the consultation.
