To obtain one, you must first apply for a visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of long-term visas available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Work visa<\/li><li>Student visa<\/li><li>Retirement visa<\/li><li>Investment visa<\/li><li>Business\/entrepreneur visa<\/li><li>Self-employment visa\/digital nomad visa<\/li><li>Spousal\/partner visa<\/li><li>Citizenship via descent visa.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You must choose one European State and apply for a visa at its Consulate in your home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the visa is in your passport, you can enter the European country of your choice and apply for a residence there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-countries-to-move-to-in-europe\">Best Countries to Move to in Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice of a destination for expatriation in Europe will depend on personal affinities, but also on your profile and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retired people will first look for a pleasant lifestyle and climate, as well as a reasonable cost of living. They will be able to opt-in priority for :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Portugal<\/li><li>Spain<\/li><li>Italy<\/li><li>Greece (provided they learn the language).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For employees and entrepreneurs, economic dynamism, professional opportunities, and attractive salaries are the main reasons for choosing a destination.
