Europe for Individuals & Families
Explore European residence and citizenship options for your family. The rights, eligibility rules and obligations depend on the country and route; a residence permit does not automatically provide the right to settle elsewhere in Europe.
Overview
Understand your European residence options
A residence permit authorises residence under the conditions of the issuing country and permit category. Permission to work, family rights and access to services depend on the route. Citizenship is a separate legal status, with its own eligibility requirements. A route that provides residence does not guarantee later citizenship.
