Living in Europe attracts many with its stability and better social conditions for the population. Currently, the EU countries are trying to develop a common immigration policy and criteria for the possibility of obtaining a residence permit and citizenship.
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze and list the reasons for obtaining citizenship in one of the European countries. There are five legal ways to legally immigrate to Europe. Determine if you have ethnic roots in one of the countries. This means that one of your ancestors was once a citizen of one of the European countries. Obtaining citizenship also applies if one of the spouses is a citizen of a European state. This case includes children who have one of their parents a citizen of Europe, and spouses living in a common-law marriage, in the presence of a joint child. You can get the citizenship of a European country by working contacts.
Step 2
If you are an expert in atomic energy, theoretical physics, rocket science, programming, then conclude a contract for work and residence on the territory of a European state. In this case, you will receive citizenship after 5-10 years of residence in the country. Organize a business in one of the European countries. This will not give you the right to automatically obtain a residence permit and citizenship, but it will bring you closer to your goal. The most popular way to obtain citizenship is through a humanitarian or refugee basis.
Step 3
Get a residence permit. Based on the above factors, contact the immigration center of a European country. Here you will need to fill out the appropriate forms, draw up a legend and a dossier. Decide in advance the housing issue, decide on a place of work, enlist the support of public or religious organizations of a given European country, as well as positive feedback from individuals and employers.
Step 4
Obtain citizenship of a European country. After obtaining a residence permit, you will be told the period of legal residence in this country in order to obtain citizenship. After this period, on the basis of your social and legal behavior during these years, the question of the possibility of obtaining citizenship will be decided.
