EU Residence

EU, Spain, France, UK: residency and citizenship

Tracks how residency and citizenship are granted across Europe and the UK — from Spain to France to Britain. Looks closely at timing: where residence permits actually come through in a couple of months, and where the road to a passport stretches into years, and why those numbers shift from year to year. Readers get a comparison of routes here, not a pitch for one country: which conditions still work and which have quietly gone stale. It covers who France grants citizenship to faster and what's now required for a French passport. Separately, there's the Spanish multi-year residence permit, Spain's digital nomad route, and what moving there actually costs. It skips asylum and family reunification — only permanent legal pathways.
