In 2013, Austria was second in the ranking of "Index of a better life". This alone can motivate you to think about how to get the citizenship of this country. But apart from that, there are a number of advantages to become a full citizen of the European Union:
- you can work and do business in any country of the European Union (currently there are 28 of them) without exhausting receipt of all the necessary approvals;
- you will be able to live in that country of the EU, which do you like better;
- you can get an education in the countries of the European Union;
- you will no longer have problems and restrictions on buying property in the territory of countries within the EU;
- it will be possible for you to get the whole range of social services - health insurance, benefits and pension;
- freedom of movement around the world and the European Union - visa-free or multi- entry visa in more than 150 countries;
- the possibility of preferential taxation registration when conducting business in the territory of the EU.
The choice of Austria as the country of citizenship granting is also justified. Firstly, Austria does not consider it necessary to provide information to the country where you already have a citizenship that you got another one. Secondly, the extradition it prohibited. Thirdly, Austrian citizenship gives you the ability to quickly and easily get the opportunity to settle in Switzerland. Fourthly, you can obtain a brand new passport of Austrian citizen very quickly - simply by investing a certain amount to the local economy.
Let's look at this point in detail. Typically, in order to obtain a citizenship of Austria, a person must reside in its territory for at least 6 years, receiving a residence permit at first, then a permanent residence and then only after that the citizenship. Sometimes the process is delayed for decades. In addition, you should have a certain income, health insurance, be sure to give up the citizenship you have at the time of the relocation.
Investing helps to reduce the waiting time to a minimum and to avoid a number of formalities.
So, what needs to be done in order to participate in the acquisition of the citizenship for investment, which was developed by Austrian Ministry of Finance:
- you'll need a fairly substantial amount of money to invest it in a joint venture or to open a new business, which will help to create working places and to export goods. Minimum investment is 2 million Euros. This money goes to the deposit account, and then is directed to the development of your chosen business project. If you are willing to part with a larger sum, for example, 10 million Euros, then the money will be under your full control;
- to find a competent lawyer who understands the intricacies of Austrian legislation;
- to contact professional specialists who can answer all your questions and help to quickly solve any problems ;
- to make a personal visit to Austria to attend a citizenship ceremony in front of representatives of the government of the country.
The list of documents required for granting such citizenship is not much different from the usual one. You will need to provide a certificate of no criminal record, the documents proving your business experience, recommendations from partners and proof of financial stability.
What are the advantages of specifically this citizenship obtaining?
- You do not need to reside on the territory of Austria.
- You may not know the country's official language - German.
- At the same time with you your spouse gets the citizenship as well as children if they are under 18.
- Your investment is a long term project that will bring you income.
- You will receive an "irrevocable" citizenship if you do not provide false information about yourself.
- The term of citizenship drawing-up is from 12 to 18 months.
