Romanian Citizenship for the Family of a Doctor from Novosibirsk

The accelerated Romanian citizenship acquisition program is one of the most popular options for immigration to the EU among Citipassport clients. Further confirmation of this is the story of Evgeny, a 45-year-old doctor from Novosibirsk. He decided to relocate to the EU together with his wife and two school-aged children, and therefore approached us for legal assistance. During the initial consultation, it became clear that the family planned to move to Europe as quickly as possible and was considering the Romanian program, recommended by friends, as the principal option.

Our migration lawyers carefully reviewed Evgeny’s case and discovered that he had a reliable ground for obtaining a Romanian passport. It turned out that his great-grandfather was born in Chișinău. This fact gave our client a full right to restoration of citizenship. Evgeny and his wife were happy that they could apply for accelerated processing of European passports, as they wanted a secure future for themselves and their children.

The first thing we did was begin searching for documents. Part of the archival metric records was located in Moldova, and part in Romania. Owing to our partners, we were able to gather all the necessary data within 3 months. We then prepared notarized translations and submitted the client’s documents to the Ministry of Justice.

After a short waiting period, our client’s citizenship application was approved. For Evgeny, that day became one of the most significant in his life. “I felt that I was opening a new page in life for myself and my family,” he told us after receiving the citizenship certificate.

Today our client’s family lives in Cluj-Napoca and travels visa-free to more than 170 countries worldwide. The children have started attending a local school where instruction is conducted in English and Romanian. Evgeny’s wife enrolled in retraining courses, and he himself submitted documents for recognition of his medical diploma — possession of a Romanian passport opened for him the possibility of working in any clinic in the EU.
