How to move to live in Europe
As a family, we recently decided to move to Europe. We haven't chosen a country yet, but we have already begun to collect information, and today I talked in detail with friends who have already immigrated to Italy.
As I understand it, the main condition for obtaining permanent residence in almost any European country is legal residence on the territory of the state for a certain number of years.
In my work, I would like to talk about what information I have already received and what features of immigration to Europe should be taken into account before applying for paperwork to the authorized body.
To make a move, first you need to get an idea not about how to move to Europe, but which country to choose as an option for emigration. It is unlikely that any of the foreigners would like to get into an unpleasant situation and live in even more uncomfortable conditions than at home.
To make a final decision, it is worth paying attention to what additional benefits and privileges arise when moving to a particular state. The table I have compiled can help with this.
| State name | Who benefits from visiting this country and why? |
| Bulgaria | It is difficult to find a well-paid job, but you can run your own business. |
| Czech | Quality education and health care |
| Latvia | Investors who want to invest in the country's economy |
| Germany and Greece | Simplified procedure for obtaining a residence permit, as well as loyalty to those wishing to leave the countries of the former USSR |
| Eastern Europe (Lithuania, Slovenia, Montenegro) | This option is convenient and promising for young businessmen who want to register their company. The amount of start-up capital is small compared to the requirements set by other countries. |
| Italy | Lack of unemployment and the opportunity to find a well-paid job if a citizen can confirm his qualifications and professional experience. |
Based on the above descriptions, the choice of a country should be approached very seriously, taking into account one's own capabilities and abilities. If a citizen has health problems, then Germany and Greece will be the best option, but for those who want to receive a good salary, there is no better choice than Italy.
Features of the migration process
Obtaining a residence permit in the EU countries is a very important condition for legal stay in this territory. According to statistics, emigration to Europe has become very popular among citizens of Russia, Ukraine or Belarus.
In fact, it is not difficult to leave for one or another European state and obtain a residence permit there, however, there are certain nuances with which residents of these states are simply not familiar, and sometimes this leads to negative consequences in the form of denial of permanent residence.
The applicant for a new status must understand that before reaching the desired goal, you will have to perform a lot of actions and comply with certain requirements.
In light of recent political events and a large number of refugees, many countries today have significantly tightened the requirements of migration laws, therefore, having made a decision to move, you should be prepared for a long wait and possible problems.
What are the options for obtaining a residence permit in Europe today
In order to move to Europe, you will need to provide strong evidence that the citizen has a legal basis for this.
These are the reasons:
- Be a refugee.
- Have family ties with citizens of a European country.
- Be an ethnic European.
- Get a call to work in one of the states.
- Register an official company.
- To enter into marital relations with a citizen (citizen) of a European country.
Regardless of the basis chosen by the candidate for permanent residence, the procedure for obtaining official status looks like a standard one.
First, you will need to obtain a residence permit, then, after 5-7 years, apply for permanent residence, and then make a request for citizenship.
What not to do when moving to Europe
Unfortunately, many immigrants, when choosing such a step as moving to Europe, acquire a simple tourist visa and remain in another state in an illegal position.
This option is very dangerous, because, given the current economic and political situation in the country, the consequences for the citizen will be very sad.
An immigrant will not be able to find a well-paid job, arrange a child for school, and also provide himself with comfortable housing. To exclude such a possibility, you should first apply for a migrant visa, and then apply for a residence permit in a European state with this document.
Conclusion
Emigration to another country is not an easy undertaking, associated with numerous difficulties. In addition to the fact that the migrant will have to complete all the required documents, it will be necessary to learn the language of the country, confirm their financial situation and qualification level.
If citizens are ready for such actions and are not afraid to spend a lot of time and effort on obtaining a residence permit, then the result will certainly be positive.
