• Employment-based PR:
Many European countries offer PR to skilled workers and professionals who are employed or have a job offer within the country. Generally, this requires a valid work permit and a specified duration of employment.
• Investor or Entrepreneur Visas:
Some European countries provide PR options for investors or entrepreneurs willing to invest a substantial amount of money or start a business that generates jobs.
• Family Reunification:
If you have a family member who is a citizen or permanent resident of a European country, you might be eligible for PR through family reunification programs.
• Long-term Residency:
Some European countries have a pathway to PR for individuals who have lived in the country for a certain number of years (usually 5 years or more) on a legal basis, like a work or study visa.
• EU Blue Card:
The EU Blue Card program is aimed at highly skilled non-EU citizens. Holding an EU Blue Card can eventually lead to PR in some countries after a certain period of residency.
