Staying on · Citizenship

Citizenship,
the final step.

When Europe has become home, naturalisation gives you a passport, the right to vote and full freedom of movement in the EU. Rules differ a lot between countries, and we help you get them right.

Common
questions.

Can I keep my current nationality?

Many EU countries now allow dual citizenship, including Germany since 2024. Some, such as Austria, generally do not.

How long does a decision take?

Often 6 months to 2 years, depending on the country and the office.

Do you file the application?

We build and check your file, book appointments and keep you on track. For complex cases we introduce a qualified lawyer.

Is this included in a package?

It is a separate service. Ask in your free evaluation and we quote a fixed fee.
