Application conditions of EU passport

1. The applicant must be 18 years old or above, have no criminal record and have not been included in the EU assets freeze list.

2. Buy one or more residential properties worth 2.5 million euros in Cyprus (if the investment property includes commercial property, the investment amount is still 3 million euros) or a property portfolio of more than 3 million euros (keep a permanent property of more than 500,000 euros).

EU countries have different regulations on the qualification examination of EU passport applicants, while southern European countries are generally more relaxed. Many people from Italy and Spain immigrated to South America from the era of great navigation, and their descendants are more likely to get EU passports. There are many Italian immigrants in Argentina, and Messi's grandfather is Italian; Thanks to this relationship, Messi got Italian citizenship very early. According to Spanish immigration law, there are six kinds of people who can become Spanish citizens. One of them is that the number of people who have legally lived in Spain for five years can be reduced to two years, and most of them are residents of Latin American countries.

Problem expansion:

The EU itself does not issue passports. However, the passports issued by the 28 member States of the European Union have the same design standards, including a burgundy cover marked with the word "EU" in various languages ("Europe * * *" before 1997), and all adopt the same security measures, so they are biometric passports.

Some EU member States also issue non-EU passports to non-EU citizens with their own nationality, such as British nationals (overseas), British overseas citizens, British protected persons, British subjects and citizens of British overseas territories who are not Gibraltar. Although the European Union does not issue its own passports, it issues EU passes to officials of some of its institutions.
