EU Citizenship: More Accessible Than It Seems

Everyone has their own reasons for this – from quality healthcare to the opportunity to expand business into the European market. But due to the worsening unstable situation across the CIS, European prospects seem objectively more reliable. Meanwhile, happiness at home recedes beyond the realm of improbable events.

But when thinking about immigration to Europe, the first things that come to mind are the draconian requirements imposed on migrants by the countries of 'old' Europe. Indeed, becoming a citizen of Germany, Austria, or Britain becomes more difficult every year. But Europe is not limited to these countries!

Over the past few years, other states, having joined the EU, have grown significantly both economically and socially. After all, ensuring a certain quality of life is one of the main conditions for countries to enter the European Union. So, along with desirable but hardly accessible Germany, countries such as Bulgaria or Romania can guarantee financial and social stability, free education and healthcare. And, most importantly, citizenship of these states gives the right to freely and without restrictions live, study and work in any other EU country.

The procedure for obtaining citizenship of Romania or Bulgaria, although significantly simpler than in most EU countries, still involves a large amount of work in collecting and preparing documents. Moreover, a number of documents, according to immigration legislation requirements, must be translated and apostilled. After that, there is a stage of their personal submission to the relevant representations of the country. Once they are checked and approved, the applicant will have to pass an interview on knowledge of the language and basic facts of the country's history and culture.

Of course, one can go through this path alone, especially if you already have experience in processing such documents. But even in this case, the risk percentage is quite high – every year the requirements of migration legislation are reviewed and changed. So, without a thorough knowledge of the details at each stage, you can not only be left without citizenship, but also lose the very opportunity to get it in the future.

For this reason, most people, in search of the optimal solution, turn to immigration specialists for help. It is worth noting that among hundreds of offers for assistance in obtaining citizenship, there are hardly a dozen truly reliable companies with many years of experience and foreign representations. Therefore, when entrusting someone with your chance for a happy future in Europe, you should be extremely careful – at least check reviews in advance throughout the entire period of the company's operation.
