Question 1

How does working with you begin?

Accepted Answer

Everything starts with a free diagnostic consultation: in 30–40 minutes we review your situation, goals and constraints — citizenship, budget, family, timeline. You then receive a written assessment with 2–3 realistic routes and an estimate of your chances for each. Only after that do you decide whether to sign a contract — the consultation carries no obligation. If your case is not a fit or the odds are objectively low, we will tell you honestly up front.

Question 2

How long does the immigration process take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on the route: a German work visa with a Blue Card typically takes 3–6 months from employer search to relocation, a startup visa 4–8 months, family reunification 6–12 months, and an asylum procedure can run from 6 months to 2 years. At the first consultation we give a realistic range for your specific case, not an industry average. The contract fixes milestone checkpoints, so you always see what stage your case is at. Government delays are unfortunately beyond our control, but we know the legal acceleration mechanisms — from formal reminders to inaction lawsuits.

Question 3

How confidential is my case?

Accepted Answer

Confidentiality is a baseline term of every contract: we sign an NDA before you hand over a single document. Your data is stored on encrypted servers in the EU, and only the lawyers directly handling your case have access. We never share information with third parties, including authorities of your country of origin — which is especially critical in asylum cases. Once your case is closed, you may request complete deletion of your data from our systems.

Question 4

Can my case be handled fully remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes — around 80% of our clients complete the entire process remotely: video consultations, document exchange through a secure portal, contracts signed electronically. In-person presence is required only where the law demands it — biometrics at a consulate, certain interviews and hearings. We prepare you for those stages in advance: mock interviews, checklists, and in several countries a partner lawyer accompanies you personally. Time zones are not an issue — our team works with clients from Latin America to Southeast Asia.

Question 5

Who qualifies for political asylum?

Accepted Answer

Asylum is granted to those persecuted on grounds of political opinion, religion, nationality, membership of a social group (including LGBT status) or race. The key requirement is a well-founded fear of persecution by the state, or by groups the state cannot or will not control. Economic hardship alone does not qualify, but a genuinely persecution-based story often hides behind an “economic” one — this is what the diagnostic stage uncovers. We assess the merits of your case before filing and tell you plainly if asylum is not your route.

Question 6

What evidence is needed for an asylum case?

Accepted Answer

The evidence base is built from documents (summonses, detention records, medical reports of injuries, threats received via messengers and social media), witness statements and country reports by international organisations. Having almost no documents is not fatal: under UNHCR standards, a consistent, detailed and coherent account is itself evidence. We help reconstruct the timeline of events, legalise and translate available materials, and request letters from human rights organisations. Important: never use forged documents — a single fake destroys the credibility of the entire case.

Question 7

What is the asylum interview like and how do I prepare?

Accepted Answer

The interview is the decisive stage of the procedure: an officer spends several hours asking detailed questions about the reasons for your flight, dates, places and people, testing the account for contradictions. We run at least two rehearsals with a lawyer who knows the practice of the specific agency, walk through the typical traps, and teach you to work correctly with an interpreter. You are entitled to breaks, to an interpreter in the right language and dialect, and women may request a female officer where gender-based violence is involved. After the interview we analyse the transcript and, where needed, file written supplements and corrections.

Question 8

What if I need to leave urgently — there is a risk of arrest?

Accepted Answer

We run a 24/7 protocol for urgent cases: message us on any messenger marked “urgent” and a lawyer will contact you within two hours. We rapidly assess which countries you can enter visa-free or under simplified rules and build a safe route — sometimes through a transit country. Before departure, do not post your plans on social media and avoid discussing them by phone where possible. If you are already at a border or in a third-country airport, we advise you on requesting asylum right at the checkpoint.

Question 9

What is the EU Blue Card and do I qualify?

Accepted Answer

The Blue Card is an EU residence permit for qualified specialists holding a university degree and a job contract above a salary threshold (in Germany in 2025: from €48,300 per year, or from €43,760 for shortage occupations and recent graduates). In several countries IT specialists can qualify without a degree, based on three or more years of documented experience. Key advantages: a fast track to permanent residence (from 21 months with language skills), simplified family reunification and mobility within the EU. At the consultation we verify recognition of your degree and the realism of salary expectations in your field.

Question 10

Do you help with finding an employer abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is part of our Work Immigration package: we adapt your CV to the target country’s standards, polish your LinkedIn profile, build a list of employers that genuinely sponsor visas, and coach you for interviews. We work with partner recruitment agencies in Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and the UAE that place foreign candidates. We do not “guarantee employment” — no honest firm can — but the numbers speak for themselves: 70% of package clients receive an offer within 4 months. In parallel, we vet every offer for visa eligibility so you never waste time on an employer who cannot sponsor you.

Question 11

Can I get a work visa without a university degree?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are routes: Germany now issues visas for professionals with vocational training and for experienced IT specialists, Canada recruits trades through Express Entry and provincial programs, and Poland and Czechia grant work visas for high-demand occupations. Documented experience, certificates and language skills play the key role — qualification recognition (e.g. Anerkennung in Germany) can take 3–4 months, and we manage that process. Drivers, welders, cooks, nurses and construction workers are currently on shortage lists in several countries at once. At the diagnostic stage we match you with the country where your profession gives the best odds.

Question 12

Can my family relocate with me on a work visa?

Accepted Answer

In most programs — yes, and immediately: your spouse and minor children apply at the same time as the main applicant. Blue Card holders in Germany reunite with family without any language requirement for the spouse, and the spouse receives full work rights from day one. In Canada and the Netherlands spouses also receive open work permits. We always calculate the “family” cost of relocation in advance — insurance, schools, housing-size requirements — so there are no surprises at the filing stage.

Question 13

How does a startup visa work and what kind of project qualifies?

Accepted Answer

Startup visas (France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Canada, Estonia) are granted to founders of innovative projects endorsed by an accredited incubator or jury. The project must be scalable and technology-driven — an ordinary coffee shop will not pass, but a SaaS, marketplace or AI product will. We help package the idea: pitch deck, financial model, letters of support — and submit to incubators we have worked with before. Revenue is not always required, but an MVP and a credible team sharply improve the odds; personal funds requirements start from €20,000 per family in Portugal.

Question 14

Can I relocate my existing business to Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is one of the most reliable routes: an operating business with history, turnover and clients is more convincing than any idea on paper. Options include opening a subsidiary and transferring yourself as its director (e.g. Spain’s entrepreneur visa or Germany’s §21 AufenthG), or full redomiciliation. We manage the entire cycle: company registration, a business plan for the immigration authorities, tax structuring with local advisors, bank accounts. The key criteria for the authorities are regional economic interest, job creation and a realistic 3-year financial model.

Question 15

Are “golden visas” still available?

Accepted Answer

The landscape has changed dramatically: Portugal and Spain closed the residential real-estate option, and Greece raised thresholds to €400–800k in popular regions. But investment routes remain alive: funds and business investment in Portugal (from €500k), real estate in Greece and Cyprus, UAE programs (from ~AED 2M) and several Caribbean citizenship programs. We work only with vetted projects and licensed funds and always flag the risks: liquidity, exit horizons, tax consequences. If your real goal is relocation rather than capital placement, a business or startup route is often cheaper and faster.

Question 16

Are freelancer and digital nomad visas suitable for permanent relocation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with proper planning: Spain’s and Portugal’s digital nomad visas count toward permanent residence and citizenship, and Germany’s Freiberufler permit is a full residence permit with renewal. Typical requirements are documented remote income of €2,500–3,500 per month, client contracts, insurance and accommodation. Think about tax from day one: when you become a tax resident and how to avoid double taxation — we bring in tax advisors at the planning stage. The most common DIY mistake is planning only for the visa and not for the renewal that comes twelve months later.

Question 17

How does family reunification work and who is eligible?

Accepted Answer

Reunification is available to spouses, minor children and, in some countries, parents and unmarried partners. The sponsor (the person who already holds status in the country) must generally prove income, adequate housing and insurance; for some statuses — such as Blue Card holders or refugees within the first months — the requirements are relaxed or waived. Timelines range from 3 months (Germany, with a complete file) to a year or more. We build the dossier to preclude the most common refusal ground — doubts about the genuineness of the marriage: joint photos, correspondence, witness statements, relationship history.

Question 18

What happens with my children’s education after relocation?

Accepted Answer

Children gain access to free public education immediately after residence registration — throughout the EU this right does not depend on the parents’ status. For children without the language there are integration classes (Willkommensklassen in Germany, aulas de acogida in Spain) that bring language up to speed within 6–12 months. We help choose a school, translate and validate transcripts, and for teenagers we plan the transition into the local exam system so no year is lost. Universities in France, Germany and Czechia remain free or nearly free for residents’ children as well.

Question 19

Are same-sex marriages and partnerships recognised in immigration procedures?

Accepted Answer

In most EU countries, Canada and the UK — yes: a same-sex marriage or registered partnership carries the same immigration rights as any other marriage. If marriage is impossible in your home country, there are solutions: marrying in Denmark or Portugal, recognition of de-facto partnership (e.g. pareja de hecho in Spain), or a partner visa in the Netherlands. For couples from countries that persecute LGBT people, the persecution itself can be independent grounds for asylum. We handle such cases with full confidentiality and understand their specifics.

Question 20

Can I bring my elderly parents?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the hardest but solvable requests. Direct parent reunification in the EU usually requires proving their dependency on you — financial and medical, with supporting documents. Alternative routes: financially independent person visas in Spain or Portugal (pension plus passive income from €2,400 per month per person), long-stay visitor multi-visas, or residence via property purchase in Greece. Canada offers a parent super visa allowing stays of up to 5 years per entry. We assess each route’s odds honestly before starting, because a refused parent visa complicates every subsequent attempt.

Question 21

How much do your services cost and what makes up the price?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the route and complexity: work visa support from €2,500, startup and business immigration from €5,000, asylum cases from €3,500, family reunification from €2,000. The price is fixed in the contract before we start and does not change mid-process — all possible extras (state fees, translations, apostilles) are itemised in a separate estimate up front. Payment is split into stages tied to results: typically 30% at the start, the rest at milestone checkpoints. The diagnostic consultation costs $500 and is credited toward the contract; after it you receive an exact quote for your specific case.

Question 22

What guarantees do you provide? Is there a refund if my application is refused?

Accepted Answer

We work until it’s done and put our commitments in the contract: a fixed price with staged payments, the scope of work, a dedicated lawyer and response times to your requests (no more than 24 hours on business days). Before we start, we assess your chances and take only cases with real prospects. If a refusal results from a document-preparation error or a deadline missed on our side, we prepare the re-filing or appeal free of charge or refund the fee — the terms are set out in the contract. If the refusal is unrelated to the quality of our work, we prepare the appeal strategy at no cost. Our track record: 98% of applications approved among cases we accepted.

Question 23

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept bank transfers in EUR and USD, international payment cards, and cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC) — the latter is especially important for clients from countries with currency restrictions or disconnected from SWIFT. Payment from a relative’s or company’s account is possible and formalised by an addendum. All payments run under a contract with an EU legal entity, and you receive invoices and closing documents. Stage-based instalments are part of our standard terms, and a custom schedule is available for complex cases.

Question 24

What is included in your service and what is billed separately?

Accepted Answer

The fee covers all legal work: strategy, document preparation and review, form filing, correspondence with authorities, interview preparation and support until you receive your status. Billed separately are only external costs beyond our control: state fees, sworn translations, apostilles, courier delivery and third-party specialists (notaries, tax advisors). A complete estimate of these costs is provided before the contract is signed — typically €300–1,500 depending on the country and family size. No hidden charges appear along the way: any deviation from the estimate is agreed with you in writing.
