Hello, 1. Not all European countries are Schengen countries. For those who immigrate to Europe by buying a house, the purpose is to obtain a "Schengen residence visa" and a visa or residency of any Schengen member country, which is equivalent to having a "European Pass" and being free to enter and leave Schengen countries. However, it should be noted that not all European countries are "Schengen countries". At present, there are 26 Schengen member countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Second, the right of abode ≦ "green card" Some institutions often use the slogan of "giving a green card" to promote the European immigration policy when buying a house. But in fact, according to the immigration policies of most European countries at present, there are still some differences between people who initially obtained temporary residency for a certain number of years and the right of abode, which is the so-called "green card". If new immigrants want to obtain the right of abode, they need to re-apply according to the residence conditions of European countries. Immigrants from Maine, Shaanxi Province have always been practical and realistic, and have rich immigration experience, so there are successful cases for reference. European immigration in one step. Third, how to retain one's "right of abode" After buying a house and immigrating to Europe, European immigrant countries have certain requirements on how to retain the "right of abode". Different countries have different requirements on how to apply for and retain the right of abode. Immigrants need to pay attention to relevant policies in this regard. The first is the living requirements. The residence requirements for "immigration supervisor" of European buyers are very relaxed during the period of temporary residence visa. For example, Greece, Spain, Cyprus and other countries have no rigid time limit for residence, while Portuguese buyers are also very relaxed during the "visa" period with temporary residency, with an average residence of only 7 days per year. Secondly, before buying a house, immigrants need to know whether their residence status is bound to housing property rights. For example, Greece, Cyprus and other countries, although there is no "immigration supervisor", once they sell their houses, they will lose their residence permits. Spain and Portugal also need to hold real estate to renew their visas. However, after Portuguese housing immigrants obtain permanent residency, even if they sell their property, it will not affect their permanent residency, and the conditions for obtaining permanent residency and naturalization are relatively simple. They only need to meet the requirement of living for 7 days a year. Portuguese housing immigrants can apply for permanent residence after five years and naturalization after six years, while Spanish housing immigrants have relatively strict conditions for permanent residence and need to apply for permanent residence. 4. Not all immigrants can work in places affected by the European debt crisis. At present, many countries in Europe suffer from high unemployment rate, so European immigrant countries have very strict restrictions on immigrants' work. For example, the policies of Spain, Greece and Cyprus stipulate that immigrants are not allowed to work in the local area and can only start businesses before obtaining nationality. Immigrants who buy a house in Portugal can not only start a business locally, but also accept the employment of others or enterprises. European immigrants who intend to settle in the local area should pay attention to this policy. V. Residence ≠ Naturalization Many immigrants who have just put the immigration plan on the agenda have the same misunderstanding: they can't distinguish the concepts of residence and naturalization. In fact, "permanent residence" and "naturalization" are two different concepts. In EU countries, the "right of abode" is an identity certificate issued by its member countries to foreign citizens, which means that the holder has the right of abode in the issuing country and needs to renew it every five years. Naturalization means that immigrants apply to become citizens of this country according to relevant requirements, and can apply for passports of this country through naturalization. For China people, they can still retain their China citizenship while holding permanent residence status, but once they apply for immigration citizenship, they are at risk of giving up their China citizenship. At present, most European countries' housing immigration projects are not one-step naturalization projects, and only those who meet certain residence requirements, years and pass relevant language and cultural integration exams can apply for naturalization.
