Often, deceived people become participants in burdensome court proceedings because they do not know that the only legal way to quickly obtain EU citizenship is to purchase a golden passport worth $1,000,000. Another legal, cheap, and relatively fast option for entering the European family is obtaining Romanian citizenship.
Advantages of Obtaining a Romanian Passport
More than a hundred thousand Ukrainians have already abandoned the idea of illegally buying Romanian citizenship, but have received passports and live in Europe legally. Today, everyone has the opportunity to join their number and take advantage of the following benefits: First of all, the ability to visit Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, and 141 other countries visa-free. Regardless of which country issued the passport, eurozone residents have the right to take out a housing loan with an interest rate of no more than 7% per annum. Often this figure is only 3%. The right to permanent residence and work in any European Union country without obtaining a visa or other permits. Studying at European universities with citizenship is free or at special rates. Cars purchased in Europe, if you have Romanian citizenship, do not need to be customs cleared.
This list of advantages is far from complete, but it reflects the opportunities that open up for a citizen of one of the EU countries.
Obtaining a Romanian Passport
The history of two neighboring countries, Romania and Ukraine, is closely intertwined. Thus, part of Ukrainian territories (certain districts of Odessa Oblast and all of Chernivtsi Oblast) were once part of Romania. For people living there now, if they have documents that they or their ancestors were born within these lands from 1918 to 1940, there is a unique opportunity to obtain a citizenship certificate in a very simplified form.
But the absence of ethnic roots is not a reason to buy Romanian citizenship from fraudsters. It can be obtained quite legally, because comfortable conditions have been created at the state level: The applicant is not required to have perfect knowledge of the Romanian language – basics will be sufficient. Simplicity of registration and low cost (compared to other EU countries) make this opportunity accessible to everyone. Renouncing the passport of the country where the applicant resides is not mandatory at all. Living within the republic is also not necessary; it is enough to contact the embassy. For minor children of the applicant, submitting documents is completely free.
Thus, anyone who wishes can collect the necessary papers and submit an application. Especially since their list is quite small.
List of Required Documents
It should be noted that the Romanian authorities have abolished the requirement to provide a certificate of no criminal record. This significantly speeds up the entire process and saves a lot of time. At the same time, you will need: Internal and international passports. Applicant's birth and marriage certificates. Birth certificates of the applicant's parents, as well as grandparents. Marriage certificates of the parents and their parents.
From the article, it is clear that buying Romanian citizenship is not the easiest way, as it is fraught with consequences. But obtaining an EU passport is quite possible on legal grounds.
