Let’s Discuss the Details
It’s time to take control of your future. Start your citizenship or residency journey today with a personalised consultation
I spent a long time looking for a way to help my parents move from Mexico City to a more peaceful, comfortable part of Europe. I chose Cyprus as I often visit for work. I contacted Astons on a partner’s recommendation. The terms looked excellent, and I recommended Astons to help my parents apply for permanent residency in Cyprus. Thanks to Oksana for her patience and attention - she personally selected a calm area near the sea, close to pharmacies, shops, and a hospital. My parents are happy; I’m at ease.
Dalirus
Entrepreneur
I wanted to ensure my children could get a European education. Out of the available options, Greece stood out — a beautiful country with a great climate and strong universities, plus a calm lifestyle. I reached out to Astons on a business partner’s recommendation and was very pleased. I was met at the airport, guided throughout the trip, and shown various neighborhoods while house hunting. The residency process went smoothly — thank you for your professionalism. My kids now attend an international school, and we’re all very happy!
Julia B
Financial Expert
I recommend Astons. The best in the business! All stages with this company were quite easy and I was able to obtain citizenship. Astons lawyers know all the subtleties, so problems are excluded. Obtained citizenship in about a year.
