immigration

Immigration law refers to the legal framework that governs the entry, stay, and exit of individuals from a country. Immigration legal services assist businesses and individuals in understanding and complying with these laws, whether for work, study, business, or family reunification. Below are key areas of immigration law that a legal consultancy like Stefani Legal Consultants can provide assistance with:

Domestic visa applications and employment visas

Domestic visa applications are typically for individuals who are seeking to enter or remain in a country for purposes such as family reunification, residence, or specific domestic roles. The process varies based on the type of visa and the applicant’s relationship to the host country or employer.

Investor Visas

These are special types of visas designed for individuals who wish to enter a country based on their investment in the country’s economy, typically through business ventures or substantial financial investments.

Golden Visas

This is a residency or long-term visa granted to foreign nationals who make significant financial investments in a country. The primary objective of these programs is to attract wealthy investors who can contribute to the country’s economy by investing in sectors like real estate, businesses, or government bonds.

Work permits

This is an official document issued by a country’s immigration or labor authority that allows a foreign national to work legally within that country. The issuance of a work permit is typically contingent on securing a job with a local employer, though there are variations depending on the specific country and type of work.

EU Residency (Category 6(2))

A specific residency or visa category under EU law, though it might not be a standard term across all EU countries. It could relate to particular residency permits that allow individuals to live and work in the European Union under certain conditions, such as long-term stays or for those in special categories like skilled workers or investors.
