European residency does not grant an immediate passport. It confers the right to live, and typically to work and study, within the country — with citizenship possible over time subject to residence and other conditions. Rules change frequently; confirm current terms with a TVG advisor.
Answer a few short questions and we'll match you to the one or two programmes that genuinely fit — or speak with an advisor directly, in confidence.
