Citizenship by Descent
If your ancestors came from another country, you may be eligible for another citizenship.
What are the benefits?
Permanent right to live in a new country, and up to 27 countries through the European Union.
Access to free or subsidized education, from K-12 to bachelors and masters degrees.
Access to quality health care providers, often for free or heavily subsidized.
Access to job markets across multiple countries, without visas or work permits.
Visa-free travel to more countries. Shorter immigration lines. Easier border crossings.
Spouses, children, and future generations are often eligible for the same benefits.
A backup plan, especially in times of geopolitical instability and uncertainty.
Buy properties in another country with less restrictions.
What's the Problem?
Citizenship through ancestry is a legal right, but barriers can make it difficult to claim.
Am I even eligible?
Many people eligible for an ancestral citizenship don't even how to confirm their eligibility.
How would I do it?
How long does it take? How much does it cost? What's the next step? The knowledge can feel almost esoteric.
Who can actually help?
Overwhelmed consulates. Ever-changing policies. 'Professionals' who over-charge, over-promise, and under-deliver.
