Residence in Europe31countries in our reference
For non-EU citizens who plan to live in a member state for longer than a visit: employees with an offer, remote workers, people living on pensions or rents, founders and investors.
A residence permit in Europe is issued by one member state under its own law, and the thresholds differ widely: Portugal asks passive-income applicants for €920 a month, Hungary asks investors for €250,000. We check which route your income or capital fits, prepare the file and submit it.

How to choose
There is no single residence permit for the EU. Each route below answers one question: where your money comes from, and whether you will work in the country that issues the card.
Germany sets the EU Blue Card at €50,700 gross a year for 2026, or €45,934.20 for shortage occupations and recent graduates. With B1 German, a Blue Card holder can reach permanent residence after 21 months.
Below that salary, the national skilled-worker permit is the usual route; our reference holds no verified salary figure for it.
Portugal ties its D7 permit to the minimum wage: €920 a month for the first adult, plus 50% for each additional adult and 30% for each child. The first permit runs two years.
Spain asks €2,400 a month for non-lucrative residence, plus €600 for each dependant, and allows no work at all. Italy runs an elective residence visa, but no primary source publishes its income figure.
Spain requires €34,188 a year, 200% of the 2026 minimum wage, and decides an authorisation filed inside the country within 20 days at most. Self-employed applicants may take Spanish clients for up to 20% of their activity.
Greece requires €400,000 in residential property outside the high-demand areas and €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and larger islands. Hungary accepts €250,000 in a registered real estate fund held for five years.
The list is shrinking. Spain abolished its golden visa on 3 April 2025, Portugal removed the property routes on 7 October 2023, and Latvia dropped real estate for new applicants from 15 September 2026.
Estonia grants a business residence permit to shareholders who have invested at least €65,000 in the Estonian activities of their company. The decision comes within 90 days and the permit can run up to five years.
Portugal raised naturalisation to 10 years of legal residence on 19 May 2026, or 7 for EU and Portuguese-speaking nationals. Germany requires 5 years; Greece requires 7 years of actual residence and an exam.
We match your income source and budget to the routes above, confirm the current threshold against the national source, prepare the application and file it. The immigration authority of each country decides and sets its own processing time.

FAQ
Short answers to what non-EU applicants ask before choosing a country.
No. Each member state issues its own permit under its own law. Even the EU Blue Card has a national salary threshold: Germany sets €50,700 a year for 2026.
A permit from a Schengen member lets you travel within the Schengen area for short stays. Ireland and Cyprus are EU members outside Schengen, so their permits do not carry that right.
No. Passive-income permits such as the Spanish non-lucrative residence forbid work, while the Spanish telework permit allows up to 20% Spanish clients for the self-employed.
Choose the route by income source, then file either at the consulate before travel or inside the country. Spain decides telework authorisations filed inside the country within 20 days; Estonia decides business permits within 90 days.
No, they register. In Cyprus, for example, EU, EEA and Swiss citizens staying more than 3 months receive a registration certificate within one month, with no expiry date.
By published thresholds, Portugal’s D7 at €920 a month for a single adult. Our fee is separate, and each country’s government fee is added on top.
Between 5 and 10 years of residence in our reference: 5 in Germany and Ireland, 7 in Greece, 10 in Italy and Portugal for most non-EU nationals.
