00:00 Intro
00:31 Student

We will start with one of the most popular ways to immigrate not only to Europe, but to any country in the world: which is by becoming a student.

01:20 Finding a Job

And talking about finding a job we get to the second way to immigrate to Europe, which is finding a job. Finding a job is a really broad option and it will depend on many things such as: the demand of a given country for a specific profession and the demand for your qualifications.
Some sectors that have a high demand for professionals are: health care, construction IT and hospitality.

02:06 Blue Card

If you are looking for a job, and you have a very specialized profession, you can also consider the option of the EU Blue Card.

02:26 Become a Freelancer

Now, we are going to start talking about options if you are an independent person with a significant income. The first option which is a viable way to move to Europe is by becoming a freelancer or a self-employed person.
Some countries that currently offer residence permits for self-employed persons are the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Spain. But there are many other options.

03:10 Opening a Company

The next option to immigrate to Europe is by opening a company. The difference from being self-employed to opening a limited liability company is that you will have more options in terms of countries that have a residence permit option for this category.

04:01 Buying Real Estate

The next option to move to Europe is by buying real estate.
In a number of countries, just by buying a property, regardless of its price, you can get a residence permit.
Some countries that offer this type of residence permit are Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

04:43 Golden Visa

The golden visa works basically like this: you invest a significant amount of money in a country, and in return you get a residence permit to live in that place.
However, just a few countries in Europe offer golden visa schemes. Among the most popular ones we have: Portugal Spain Malta Greece and Cyprus.

05:21 Marriage and Civil Partnership

If you marry a citizen of an European country which is also residing in an European country, you can get a residence permit based on being a family member of that person.

05:59 Citizenship by Ancestry

Another option to move to Europe is available for those who have ancestors from Europe. This mostly applies to some citizens North and South American countries, Australia and New Zealand.
In this option, you will need to have ancestry tracing back to some European country, and also meet the specific requirements of that given country.
Countries which are popular in this category are those with a huge diaspora such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Romania, etc.

06:52 Digital Nomad

This is a pretty new option, and just a few European countries offer a visa specifically aimed at digital nomads. Some of the countries with this category of visa already available are Croatia, Estonia and Malta.

07:23 Residence without an Economic Activity

If you already have income and you want to move to Europe but you are not actually looking for a job or willing to start a business, it is also possible to come to the continent and get a residence permit without any economic activity.
Some of the countries offering these types of residence permit are Portugal, Spain and Italy inside the European Union. Outside the European Union we can mention Andorra and Monaco.

08:01 Retirement

If you are a retiree, there are many countries that actually also offer the opportunity to get residency.
Bulgaria and Latvia are viable options if you want to come as a retiree.

08:55 Working Holiday Visa

The next category is probably one of the least known ones for those interested in living in Europe. It is called a Working Holiday Visa.
Citizens of Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea are the ones with the highest number of options in terms of European countries that will accept them in the working holiday visa program. But there are many other countries whose citizens can come to Europe under this program, such as citizens of Taiwan, Argentina, Israel, Chile and others.

09:43 Volunteering

One very little known option to move to Europe is by volunteering. If you want to volunteer to a proper organization that has all the licenses to operate in a given country, you might actually move there and get a residence permit based on your volunteering contract.

10:18 Visa Free Stay

The last option is a visa free stay. Depending on your passport you can stay for quite a while in a number of countries in Europe.
The best example in Europe is Georgia, in which you can stay up to one year visa free (depending on your citizenship).
