We obtained citizenship as a whole family — myself, my husband, and our two children. The main motivation was to provide the children with European education and prospects. Citipassport’s lawyers worked through every detail and helped with all documents, even the translation of school certificates. The procedure took a year and a half, but the result was worth it. The children have already entered a French university as EU citizens, we save on tuition, and we are confident in their future.

Salaries in Europe are higher, contracts are more stable; I recommend it to colleagues.
