How a pensioner can obtain a European residence permit

08.05.2025

A client — a pensioner from Russia who owns property in Bulgaria — approached us wishing to simplify regular trips to Bulgaria and free movement within the Schengen area given the increasingly complex visa process. We arranged a Bulgarian residence permit for him on the basis of his pension, prepared the full document package for the D visa, and accompanied him to the submission. He successfully received a 6-month visa. Upon arrival in Bulgaria, we helped him apply for a residence permit, and within a few weeks he obtained a Bulgarian residence permit valid for one year and renewable annually. He now regularly visits Bulgaria, lives in his property, travels freely around Europe, and we continue to support him with status renewals.

How to move to France and open a company there

30.01.2025

A client from Georgia approached us with the goal of moving to France with his family, opening a company there, and running a business. We proposed a French Passeport Talent – Créateur d'entreprise residence permit. To this end we prepared a business plan, a justification of the project's economic value for France, and a full dossier for submission to the Ministry of the Economy. After the project was approved, the client and his family received D visas valid for 3 months and arrived in France. We assisted with setting up the company, making the required investments, and applying for the Passeport Talent residence permit, which they received for 4 years. The client now lives in France with his family and is growing the business, while we continue to support his operations, including accounting support and document preparation for future residence permit renewals.

Restoration of Polish citizenship

13.07.2024

A client approached us wishing to obtain long-term status in one of the European countries. While analysing her situation, we found that her grandmother had lived in Brest between 1918 and 1939 and was of Polish origin. We carried out archival research, confirmed her ethnicity, and arranged a Karta Polaka for her — a document confirming Polish heritage. On the basis of the Karta Polaka, the client applied for a Polish permanent residence permit and successfully received it. She is currently preparing to confirm her knowledge of the Polish language at A2 level so that she can later apply for Polish citizenship.
