The world is so big, why do many people favor Europe alone?
In fact, in addition to the world's top scenery and welfare benefits, the benefit of European identity is that it often enjoys a lot of "privileges".
And this privilege will bring you great convenience and benefits.
As a simple example, many people have more or less heard words such as "member of the European Union", "member of Schengen", "member of the Commonwealth", etc
So what does that mean? Let's take a simple example.
Eu member states, Schengen member states and other status advantages
Citizens of any EU member state are free to live and work in EU member states.
If you are an EU citizen, under the EU Free and Equal Movement Act, "citizens of any EU member state (EU citizens) may move, reside, receive education and work and enjoy local benefits in any EU member state".
This means that your children have the right to attend school in any EU country, under the same conditions as citizens of that country, and you and your children will be protected by EU member states, among other rights.
The right to move, live and work freely within the EU, protected by the members of the EU.
EU citizens with AN PASSPORTs can:
1. No visa is required to enter another EU country
2. You can live in another EU country for 3 months without any conditions and formalities
3. If you have resided in another country in the European Union for more than 3 months, you need to register.
4. If you have been legally resident in another EU country for 5 consecutive years, you are eligible for permanent residency.
5. The right to be treated on an equal footing with citizens of another EU country. Note: There is no obligation to provide benefits to EU citizens who have not worked locally in the previous 3 months
Why is European Identity Popular?
Because any EU membership allows you to swim 27 EU member states. For example, Greece, Malta, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, are not difficult to obtain status, and these countries are all members of the European Union.
As long as you get any of these countries, it means that you have a "pass" and the right to free passage, residence and education in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and other countries that are very difficult to immigrate.
Therefore, it can be said that getting a picture of eu membership is very cost-effective for long-term planning such as family education, pension and work.
In addition, the Schengen area and the Commonwealth are the same.
Holders of valid identity cards or visas from any member state in the Schengen area can not only move freely within the territory of all member states, but also enjoy educational facilities.
Many of the world's leading universities or colleges in Schengen countries have always been the halls of dreams for international students, and the low tuition fees have made studying in Europe a popular among middle-class families.
As the number of applications from international students increases year after year, it is becoming more and more difficult to apply to these prestigious universities. If an investor invests in a Schengen country and successfully obtains a family green card, there is almost no restriction on the number of places for school-age students to study in other Schengen countries.
And the applicant can apply for permanent resident status or apply for naturalization after 5 years of residence in the Schengen country, at which time, the applicant's children can enjoy the same treatment as citizen students in the target country of study.
At present, the European Schengen member states that are easy to get identity include Greece, Malta, Portugal, Spain, and the Schengen member states include Finland, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Luxembourg and other countries that are very difficult to immigrate, especially in northern Europe.
Many people dream of immigrating to the five Nordic countries to live, enjoying the beautiful scenery and high welfare benefits of the local area, but they have no way to apply for identity. In fact, at this time, you can move to the five Nordic countries by investing in Greece, Malta and other country curves.
Another way, it may be easy for you to reach the place of life you have dreamed of.
The same is true among commonwealth member states, education can confirm each other's achievements, academic qualifications, etc., private activities are relatively free, living, going to school, traveling, investment almost no threshold.
It can be said that with a Commonwealth passport, you can directly enjoy the citizenship/resident treatment of 53 countries.
It is worth noting that Malta and Cyprus in Europe, as well as Dominica and Grenada in the Americas, are all members of the British Commonwealth.
The fast processing process and low investment threshold are the common advantages of these projects, but the national conditions and policies between different countries are slightly different, and Xiaomei suggested that applicants need to choose according to their actual needs.
Taking a European identity is not as difficult as you think
In fact, for the Chinese rich who are really not short of money, the attraction of Europe, especially the countries along the Mediterranean coast, has always been very online.
It's just that for most ordinary people, going directly to the country they want to go to, such as Sweden, Finland, etc., the investment cost is too high, and the migration road is too difficult.
Then the identity of some small countries has become the best choice we have to choose, fortunately, the curve migration, but also the same way, can let us feel the "true fragrance" of Europe.
1. World-class tax haven
2, a European identity, free access to multiple European countries
3. Property rights are guaranteed permanently and passed down from generation to generation
Most of the European real estate is freehold, not affected by national policies, and the quality of the house is relatively good and can be passed on from generation to generation.
Buying a house in Europe, as long as the property is not traded, then the children and grandchildren can enjoy it, and the wealth is stable and inherited, which is the real sense of "real estate".
4. The education system has a deep heritage
The European education system has a deep history, and the quality of education is not lost to countries such as the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Private schools (that is, international schools) are developed, and children from private schools in many European countries can directly access top schools in the United Kingdom and the United States after graduation.
England is the birthplace of aristocratic elite education.
The concept of "elite education" advocated by British private schools embodies the essence of British education. The whole-person education that focuses on "academics", "physical fitness", "character" and "leadership spirit" has a more profound impact on children.
5. World-class retirement paradise
The reason why many rich people prefer to live in European countries is that in addition to factors such as the quality of education and living environment, they are also attracted to the well-regulated medical system, high-quality medical conditions and welfare in Europe.
Among European countries such as Germany, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and other European countries, they rank at the forefront of the global health care system ranking.

One person applies, three generations of immigrants, and directly gets a permanent residence card for 5 years at a time. In the case of holding a property, you only need to renew your visa every 5 years and live for 7 years to become naturalized.
With Greek immigration status, you can also travel visa-free between 26 other EU member states and another 25 Schengen member states. It's really worth it.
