Client story
Client Story
Where they started
A family from Kazakhstan - spouses, child, and elderly parent - planned to obtain European residence permit for travel, medical treatment, and education.
Why the standard route did not work
Here it is important to demonstrate the contrast we discussed in other cases in this series. Russian and Belarusian citizens cannot access Greece's Golden Visa under their passports since 2022 - we first obtain a second passport from a non-sanctioned country for them. Kazakhstani citizens do not need this: their passport has no restrictions, therefore the path is direct - without second citizenship and workarounds.
What BRIDGES had to solve
Second passport not required for Kazakhstanis: direct application. It was important to include all family members correctly - the child as a family member and the parent under program conditions.
Why a standard answer would not do
At BRIDGES, we guided the client through the direct Golden Visa route: prepared documents, assisted with bank accounts and fund transfers, selected and arranged real estate meeting program thresholds, and submitted for residence permit. The entire family composition was included.
We are from Kazakhstan and wanted Greek Residence Permit for the whole family, including my mother. BRIDGES told us - no second passport needed, we apply directly. They included us, our child, and my mother. We obtained residence permits for the entire family. Thank you for not leaving anyone behind.
