Simplify Your Move to Europe with UCI:
Immigrating to Europe can be straightforward if you are an EU passport holder. However, for non-EU nationals, the process can be complex due to differing regulations, languages, and visa requirements across the continent.
At UCI, we specialize in European immigration, offering expert guidance tailored to your unique circumstances and objectives.
Understanding Work & Residence Requirements in Europe:
Work Permits
To work legally in most European countries, non-EU citizens must obtain a work permit. This permit usually specifies:
- The job title and description
- Employer/company details
- Salary and duration of employment
Each European country has its own rules and processing procedures, which can vary in length and complexity.
Residence Permits
A residence permit is also required if you plan to live in the country where you work. These permits are typically granted in conjunction with or following the securement of a valid work visa.
The EU Blue Card: For Highly Skilled Workers:
The EU Blue Card is a combined work and residence permit designed for highly qualified non-EU nationals. To be eligible, applicants must meet specific criteria:
- Higher education qualifications
- A binding work contract or job offer
- Minimum gross annual salary threshold
The Blue Card is typically valid for four years, with opportunities for renewal and long-term residency pathways in many EU countries.
