Talk to us ↗PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Programme overview
Understand your needs. Review the right route.
We assess your background and applicable citizenship route before coordinating family plans, documents and attendance. Ordinary naturalisation generally requires eight years of continuous permanent residence. Exceptions, including qualifying contributions, require individual assessment; investment alone does not establish entitlement.

Why consider this destination
Connected travel
A Schengen location brings cross-border visits and business meetings into a connected European lifestyle.
A Central European setting
Neighbouring Austria, Czechia, Poland and Hungary offer a regional setting for exploring business relationships and places to live.
Everyday life in euros
Euro use provides a shared currency framework for regional travel and longer-term household planning.
Education with a longer view
Compare language, curriculum and study options alongside family needs. Admission and entitlements depend on the institution and individual eligibility.
Planning for the whole family
Coordinate the goals and documents of the principal applicant, partner and children, with each person’s eligibility assessed separately.
Destination advantages and application eligibility are assessed separately. Citizenship, travel, education and healthcare rights depend on the applicable rules and personal circumstances.

DOCUMENT PREPARATION
Document preparation
This is a preliminary guide, not a final checklist for every applicant. Requirements must be confirmed in writing after your circumstances and application route have been reviewed. Check validity periods, translations, certification and original-document requirements before making arrangements.
What you can prepare first
Passport and identity
Passport details and consistent identity and name records.
Birth and family records
Birth records and, where relevant, marriage, children and guardianship documents.
Photographs and background
Recent photographs and education, employment and residence history.
After your route is confirmed
Integrity and residence
Confirm required records, jurisdictions and validity for the route.
Eligibility and contribution
For an exception, verify the basis, evidence and competent authority’s requirements.
Translation and attendance
Confirm translation, certification, language, interview, oath and biometric requirements.
Do not send full identity documents, asset records or fingerprints through this website or ordinary chat. Before formal collection, we will clarify the purpose, recipient and submission method.
STEP BY STEP
The process
Understand your situation
Discuss your goals, family members, existing status and preferred timeline.
Review the route
Identify applicable conditions, supporting evidence and matters requiring professional review.
Define the plan
Clarify the scope, document requirements and stages requiring your involvement.
Coordinate and follow up
Coordinate documents, further requests and progress as agreed. Decisions rest with the relevant authorities.
Questions
Does an application guarantee approval?
Citizenship depends on statutory conditions and official assessment. Investment or submission alone does not grant citizenship.
Can my family plan together?
Yes. Eligibility, documents and procedures must still be confirmed for each family member.
How long does it take?
Timelines follow assessment of the route, residence history and documents. No fixed approval period is promised.
