European passport: freedom in uncertain times
In a world marked by uncertainty, having a European passport is a form of protection and planning.
- It allows you to live, study and work in any country in the European Union.
- Ensures access to high-quality health and education systems.
- It offers legal security and more options for the future of the entire family.
Genealogical study: the first step towards citizenship

- A detailed genealogical study can reveal this connection.
- With the right advice, it is possible to gather the necessary documents and start the process.
- But time is a decisive factor: the sooner you start, the greater the chance of benefiting from the current rules.
