⚔︎ : aurevia concept + lore guide !! ( by mono )

visual concept : a city of white, gold and baby blue. lots of intricate details and clouds in the architecture and a bit of a glowy atmosphere. city above the clouds with residents that seem otherworldly with their big white wings. takes inspiration from ancient greece, the floating mountains and the palace of versailles.

portal : the temple of artemis in ephesus. located in modern day turkey. has been kept relatively hidden away from any humans. besides the portal, accessing aurevia requires a bit of hidden (and forbidden) knowledge that is very hard for outsiders to access.

ruling house : house of (name reserved for jude to decide here). (monarch status here) (monarch name here).

heir : (name reserved for jude to decide here).

sigil : a sword and wings on a golden crest (this kinda vibe.)

motto : wings banded together.

the city of aurevia : aurevia is a medium-sized realm that resides on floating mountains in the clouds. every mountain is connected by long bridges, but it is not exactly needed due to its citizens. although aurevia is a realm full of different beings, the main population that resides in aurevia is the native population: vinge. they are a population of rather humanoid creatures, however taller in stature and their most notable physical difference .. their large white wings. however, you can find many other species in aurevia!

locations : the temple of the old gods, the house of orion, the white keep (knight's quarters & training center), an array of shops and restaurants, the castle, the philosophical temple of clouds (closed for maesters/philosphers only), numerous taverns, the whispering woods, the floating waterfalls of aurevia, the sacred watchtowers. heavily inspired by mondstat (layout wise!!)

how to reach aurevia : due to it’s extremely high altitude and almost impossibility of reaching the city without wings, the native population of aurevia created a pulley system that mimics modern day elevators. there is a ground floor of aurevia which functions as a visitor’s centre. in this centre, non-natives will get visas to access the city, as well as other permits and things. then, they may purchase a ticket to board the golden pulleys of aurevia, which can fit 100 individuals at a time, and work from 5am-5pm. after this time, outsiders may not access aurevia without the help of a native.

jobs : bard, maester, philosopher, knight, forest watcher, tower keeper, seamstress, royal courts, travelling merchant, master of whispers, town shouter, interpreter, master of coin, court jester, circus ring leader.

mythology : 'old god' mythology - typically only followed by the common folk, though the royal family does follow and promote the religion.

the old gods : the sacred 5, said to have created the realm of aurevia and any other realm that may exist. this religion has slowly began to fizzle out in the times due to the slow progress of technology, but the majority of the common folk and the royal family still follow it.

nelros : the queen of gods, mother of creation. life started with her, and she created her siblings. takes the form of a golden dove.

sotlir : the god of death, the ruler of the other side. life ends with him. takes the form of a black raven.

lilyan : the god of time, the son of eternity. life goes on with him. takes the form of a white deer.

iesis : the god(dess) of love. life is loved through them. is also the god(dess) of food and harvest, in charge of controlling the elements. takes the form of a swan. has no confirmed gender, and is seen taking both male and female forms.

miona : the goddess of justice. the all seeing eye of life. takes the form of a male lion.

the white keep : the home of the rosen knights, which are the sacred knights of aurevia. incredibly skilled fighters, both agile in the sky and on the ground.

the oath : (almost completely stolen from the night’s watch oath….) clouds gather, and now my life begins. it shall not end until my fated death. i shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. i shall wear no crowns and win no glory. i shall live and die a rosen knight. i am the shimmering sword in the light. i am the angel that rises in the ashes. i am the shield that guards aurevia. i pledge my life and honour to the rosen knight’s, for this day and all days to come.

armour : typically dripped in gold and silver to show off stature, has open slits for their wings and extra armour available for them as well. their headpiece has wings on the sides, mimicking the greek god hermes. their main chest plate has a red rose ethched into it, along with other red rose symbolism engraved throughout their armour, symbolising their status of being rosen knights.

weaponry : all rosen knights are extremely skilled in both ground and aerial combat. all knights typically have two swords at their disposal, a longsword made for intense warfare that hands from their sheath, and a smaller sword for any everyday usage. a longsword is not permitted to be used in any other combat outside from war, and is hand crafted to be held by none other than the knight it belongs to. (a lot like thor's hammer), it is almost impossible to lift a rosen knight's longsword unless magic has been gifted to you. however, besides their swords and rigorous sword training, they are also taught to hold numerous other weapons: the longspear, the bow and arrow, and from the witches, occasional magic to help summon creatures for their aid - but only if absolutely necessary. all knights have the option to choose which other weapons they may like to use, but are trained in all of them until they can perfect it.

fighting skills : it is a known fact that it is extremely difficult to defeat a rosen knight in any sort of combat, however, it is not impossible. they are extremely skilled fighters in both aerial and ground combat, and typically train from the moment they are able to stand to the moment they are sworn in, and even so, they are still trained throughout their service when there is time to do so. however, they do not believe in senseless violence. it is extremely frowned upon for a rosen knight to use violence unless absolutely necessary, and only one knight has ever been dismissed from service for using excessive force when it was not needed (which was rumoured to be suggested by the philosophers).

origin : many common folk have wondered where the rosen knights even originated from, as their history is not well known by many outside of the knights themselves or the philosophers. however, it is said that nelros created the first rosen knight after a particularly gruelling war. there was ash everywhere due to raging fires, and yet, a single red rose had survived, and it stayed planted on the ground, almost shining. from that single rose, nelros created the knight from its petals. she created his sword from it’s stem and the blade from it’s thorns. from then on, a godly and prestigious knighthood was created to protect aurevia from any harm.

symbolism : the rosen knights are a tight-knit brotherhood rumoured to be created by the sacred rose of aurevia themselves. they are knights that embody beauty in every sense of the word, and although are skilled fighters, value fairness and gentleness above violence. although they are appointed by the gods, the philosophers are the ones that they directly report to. however, the rosen knights seemingly have their own government and way of selecting their commanders and officers. all rosen knights are said to be a beauty that is otherworldly, however, they rarely ever show their face unless they are in the presence of their sworn brothers.

current commander : hugh (41) the strong, of house ravenwood. there are currently 32 rosen knights in aurevia.

familiars : as soon as you are sworn to be a rosen knight, you are visited by the rosen witch. this witch is a woman who is appointed by the philosophers, and gives the knights their familiar (imagine megumi's dogs). a familiar is chosen typically at random, but follows the heart of what the knight is truly capable of. all familiars are different despite them sharing a species sometimes, and each familiar comes with their own unique abilities.

familiar symbolism : the pegasus - a horse typically larger than average horses, with a large wingspan, typically around 8.5 meters (27 feet). every pegasus has a different coat colouring and unique special ability, but represents aerial grace and freedom. is typically rode with knights that choose the bow as their main weapon.

familiar symbolism : the cat - (imagine a bob cat/maine coon type) typically larger than house cats. every cat has a different coat colouring and unique special abilities that typically deal with close combat (ex. stunlocking the enemies). they represent strength and force. they are typically beside knights that choose the sword as their main weapon.

familiar symbolism : the phoenix - a rare, but rather interesting familiar to have. they are larger than most birds of prey, and are all a normal shade of brown, only lighting itself on fire during combat. they represent sacrifice and honour. they are typically with knights that choose the bow as their main weapon.

familiar symbolism : the wolf - extremely larger than normal wolves (cough.. cough… twilight wolves….), and come in a range of coat colours and special abilities. these familiars deal with long ranged ground combat. they represent bravery and duty. they are typically beside the knights that choose the longspear as their main weapon.

familiar symbolism : the banshee - a unique familiar that resembles a woman. are also known as sirens. appears from the elements of nature (ex. comes from tree bark), and uses their voices to lure in their enemies. they represent deception and dishonesty. they are more difficult to claim as a familiar, as they choose who they become tied with. however, they have been known to be with knights that choose the sword as their main weapon.

familiar symbolism : the demon - the most dangerous type of familiar to get, as the knights must go through a trial in the underworld and become possessed by a demon and survive it (imagine seraph of the end - attaining a cursed weapon). there has been very few cases where it has been successful, so not many try for this familiar. however, if successful, the demon takes home in their chosen weapon, and once released during combat, become almost a shadow of their knight and act as a second, more stronger version of them, while also giving the original knight enhanced strength, speed, and agility. however, it is a constant battle to control their demon, and if a wrong move is made, or a weakness is shown, the demon will most likely devour their soul. there is no pattern for the knights they choose besides whoever was brave enough to try.

note : if you have an idea for a familiar, feel free to tell me or add it and i’ll format it!! :D

the protector of aurevia : hand picked from the gods themselves, this person is a protector of the realm in all sense of the word.

origin : the protectors of the realms of orion are a sacred force as old as the gods. they are the sole protectors of the realm and the first one to be used as sacrifice in order to conserve the realm. they are typically individuals of high standing that have proven themselves to the gods with their deeds done as mortals. once chosen as a protector of the realm, there is infinite knowledge, power, and help at their disposal. for the protector of aurevia, they are ranked above the rosen knights, the royal family, and even the philosophers. they are regarded as gods to the common folk.

current protector : as of today, aurevia is currently unprotected with no named protector due to the unusual and mysterious death of the previous protector of the realm (it is rumoured that the philosophers got rid of them due to being threatened in power). as of now, the gods are trying to come to terms with who should be the new protector of the realm, however, the philosophers are attempting to overrule the gods by nominating their own protector of the realm.

acting protector of the realm : as for now, the commander of the rosen knights, hugh ravenwood, is the acting protector of the realm until the gods can decide on a new one.

the philosophers : the knowledgeable philosophers of aurevia, and the corrupt secret society that pulls the strings of the realm behind the god’s eye.

origin : once again, a system set up by the gods. however, this time, it was the goddess miona, the goddess of justice, who came together and selected a chosen one of each of the 6 realms to ultimately watch over orion as a whole, and make sure that each of the realms stayed safe. she placed them in a golden sept in aurevia, the capital realm, and named them the philosophers. she granted them the ability to see into the future and look into the past, and gave them the ultimate test of fairness. throughout history, numerous philosophers have come and go, changing from holy maesters to highly ranked philosophers, but their previous love of fairness and honesty has long gone. now in the modern times, it is easier to find one of the gods than it is to find a philosopher who isn't corrupt.

current philosophers : the philosopher of elyria, (name reserved for jude here) of house (name reserved for jude here). the philosopher of lyriel, (name reserved for jude here) of house (name reserved for jude here). the philosopher of aurevia, rob of house black. the philosopher of myrithen, (name reserved for kaz here), of house (name reserved for kaz here). the philosopher of altus, (name reserved for rain here), of house (name reserved for rain here). the philosopher of nymbralis, (name reserved for jude here), of house (name reserved for jude here).

their corruption : it all started when a philosopher of aurevia had secretly murdered all of the other philosopher's and replaced them with a tainted 5. due to the philosophers being anonymous at the time, no one had known that they were feeding the other realms complete deception. because of this, the philosophers are no longer a just force feigning for fairness and equality (imagine the betrayal of the academia in sumeru).

the species of aurevia : aurevia was once a closed off realm, only open to their native population and the 5 other philosophers. however, as time progressed, the capital realm has become extremely open and a central hub for all sorts of different species.

vinge : the native population of aurevia, known for their extravagant and rather large (and super fluffy!!) white wings. if a vinge allows you to touch their wings, the tips of your fingertips will tingle in the slightest euphoria, and being gifted a feather off of their wings is known to be a lucky charm. however, if a feather is taken without their consent or knowledge, extreme bad luck is known to befall those who make that mistake. for the majority of vinges, they spend their lives in the sky, as their wings are far too big and drag on the ground when they walk. befriending a vinge means that you'll never have to walk anywhere again (a sign of companionship is to carry their partners while they fly!).

centaur : another large majority in aurevia due to the floating mountains that are actually rather expansive. a majority of the centaurs have a horse form along with their human half of their body, and are matching in size with the pegasus that fly around in the skies. typically, centaurs are in charge of breeding pegasus (and unicorns if they're lucky).

nymphs : a product of the forest in aurevia, these are creatures of the forest, also known as forest watchers of aurevia. they take the forms of nature, and create a humanoid form when they would like to be seen. the nymphs may come from the tree bark, the petals of flowers, a running creek, a thorny bush, or even the dirt. they are known to have a gender non-confirming form, with their anatomy shared between men and women. however, due to being such an isolated population in the forest, not a lot is known about them except for the fact that they protect the forest.

misc : besides the natives of aurevia, there are numerous other types of species in the realm from different realms!

The new government's programme includes the introduction of a citizenship test as part of its plans to tighten the requirements for obtaining Finnish citizenship or permanent residence in Finland.

In its programme for government published last month, Finland's right-wing ruling coalition said it plans to introduce a citizenship test as part of efforts to tighten rules around the granting of permanent residence and citizenship permits.

"Passing a citizenship test and a language test will be made a requirement for naturalisation," the programme states.

The Finnish citizenship test will be modelled on similar evaluations used in other European countries.

Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen (Finns) told Yle that her ministry has started work on drafting the citizenship test, but the process will take time.

Examples from across Europe

Among the EU's 27 countries, nearly half — or 13 — currently have a citizenship test. They include the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary and Estonia.

In addition, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein — which are not members of the EU but are part of the Schengen area — also have a citizenship test.

In general, the tests feature questions about the history, culture, society and population of the host country. The assessments may also ask about living in a democracy and other aspects of a particular country's politics, such as in Estonia and Greece, or about the country's national anthem, as in Latvia.

In each country, the test is organised by an official body.

Rantanen previously told tabloid Ilta-Sanomat that the exams could be organised by community colleges, for example.

From multiple choice quizzes to interviews

In an interview with Yle soon after taking office, Rantanen said that her ministry will perform a "u-turn" on immigration and refugee policies during her term, and she reiterated that position this week.

"I am glad that we are reaching the pan-Nordic level, and that we will not be the only country in the Nordic region with lax rules," she said.

Among the Nordic countries, the citizenship test is used in Denmark and Norway.

The Danish test has 45 multiple-choice questions about the country's society, culture and history — 35 of which are based on provided study material while 5 questions deal with topical issues taken from Danish media and politics. There are also five questions on Danish values.

At least 36 correct answers are needed in order to pass the Danish test. In addition, they must correctly answer at least four of the 10 questions that are not included in the study material.

The citizenship test in Norway has 36 questions, of which 24 must be correct. Norwegian authorities also offer the option of completing a social studies course (75 hours) with a final exam in Norwegian.

Luxembourg also provides the option of taking a social studies course instead of the citizenship test.

In Slovakia, there is no formal citizenship test but the required language test does ask basic information about the country.

Study material helps participants

In almost every European country where a citizenship test is mandatory, participants are provided with study material.

In Spain, the test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions selected from a list of 300, which can be practised in advance with an app.

The tests are also often multiple-choice, although one notable exception to this is France, where the 'test' is conducted as an interview.

In Europe, the citizenship test is often multiple-choice, but one exception is France, where the exam is conducted as an interview. Study material is also provided.

In addition to the citizenship test, each country has other conditions which must be met if the applicant is to receive citizenship or a permanent residence permit — such as a certain income threshold.

Although Austria has no citizenship exam, people applying for citizenship or permanent residence must have lived continuously in the country for at least 10 years and prove their intentions to stay.

Rantanen noted that the proposed citizenship test is also intended to help speed up integration into Finnish society.

"The idea is for people to integrate into Finland, to learn our language and our social system. With integration, the citizenship and language tests should not prove to be too difficult," Rantanen said.

Citizenship test previously proposed in 2019

The possibility of Finland introducing a citizenship test has been mooted before.

In 2019, then-Interior Minister Kai Mykkänen (NCP) presented a package of measures he said was aimed at preventing and combating crimes committed by foreign-background individuals, especially sexual offences.

The draft bill at the time stated that "the practices of other countries in the use of citizenship tests will be studied and a test suitable for Finland will be introduced".

However, the citizenship test was not advanced during the following government's term in office.

Lower bills, higher quality of life

While living abroad as a digital nomad comes with many perks, a big one is feeling like your paycheck goes further than it does back home in the U.S.

With digital nomad visas available in over 50 countries, American remote workers can live in a place where a strong dollar and lower living costs give them a higher quality of life than they could afford back home.

This idea of living off a higher expat income in a low-cost country is a financial strategy known as geo-arbitrage, and it’s one of the reasons why over 21 million Americans said they plan on becoming a digital nomad in the next few years, according to a recent survey by MBO Partners.

'It’s empowering to have more disposable income for travel, experiences and savings, all while enjoying a rich, diverse cultural landscape,' said Michelle Garabito, a digital nomad and founder of the Lux Nomads, which offers consulting services on making an overseas move.

'For remote workers, in particular, this lifestyle offers the perfect balance of personal and professional growth.'

Here are some countries that offer digital nomad visas and a low cost of living.

Croatia

Croatia’s digital nomad visa allows for stays up to a year, exempt from income tax.

When combined with its endless coastlines, islands, and rich history to take in, the Balkans country is appealing to those who want to stay below budget.

A single person’s estimated monthly costs in Croatia is $785.60 – 32.9% lower than in the U.S. on average, as of Thursday.

Thailand

Thai massages, cheap yet delicious street food and stunning natural landscapes are just a few reasons to apply for Thailand’s digital nomad visa, which allows for multiple entries of up to 180 days for five years.

It’s also 126% cheaper to live and pay rent in Thailand than it is in the U.S., as of Thursday.

Cabo Verde

An archipelago of 10 islands off the coast of West Africa, Cabo Verde is the ideal destination for digital nomads looking for year-round sunshine and beautiful beaches.

The small country offers a Remote Work in Paradise program to live and stay for six months with the option to renew plus a low cost of living, about $689 for monthly expenses, travel insurance platform InsureMyTrip told USA TODAY in an email.

Belize

From waterfall hikes to pristine scuba diving, Belize has endless adventures for digital nomads who participate in its six-month Work Where You Vacation program.

It also offers a low cost of living at about $712 a month, according to InsureMyTrip.

Brazil

Brazil has exploded as a digital nomad destination, offering a digital nomad visa of a year’s stay with the option to be renewed. Remote workers can enjoy the South American country’s vibrant culture, a myriad of co-working spaces and low monthly expenses of around $819 in its capital of Brasilia, according to InsureMyTrip.

Portugal

Portugal continues to rise in popularity among digital nomads and retirees looking for a seaside retreat with a lower cost of living.

Monthly expenses in a city like Porto will run you about $1,500 and around $2,000 if you want to be in Lisbon, according to Garabito.

Romania

'A lesser-known gem, Romania offers a digital nomad visa and very low costs – around $1,200 monthly in Bucharest or even less in smaller cities,' said Garabito. 'With a charming blend of history and affordability, Romania is a hidden treasure in the E.U..' Romania’s digital nomad visa offers a year’s stay, enough time to explore its medieval architecture and historical sites like Transylvania’s mysterious forests

Helping women move abroad

Americans seek better quality of life overseas

A day before the 2024 presidential election, Dee Segler got on a plane and moved to a country she’d never been to.

The timing for her relocation from the U.S. to the Netherlands – her first time living overseas – was coincidental.

Mostly, it’s been a long time coming.

Now in her 50s, Segler has dreamed of living abroad since she was in her teens and went to Europe with her school French club.

“I made a promise to myself at 18 years old, I was going to live abroad,” she told USA TODAY.

“But life just kind of happened. I went to school, got married, had kids.”

Recently, however, she found herself in a place where she could finally seize the opportunity.

She was divorced, and her children were grown and living on their own.

A couple of years ago she was laid off from her tech job and went back to school – but found herself stuck in a junior role, struggling to make ends meet with the rising cost of living in Seattle.

“Do I really want to go back to corporate America?” she asked herself.

She came across a Facebook group with over 10,000 members called She Hit Refresh, a community dedicated to helping women over 30 years old move to Europe.

In June, she attended an online training about European visa options held by She Hit Refresh founder Cepee Tabibian.

She learned how to easily obtain a two-year visa to the Netherlands as a self-employed American under the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty.

The idea of making the move began to take shape.

“They find that Europe offers a political climate that feels less charged, less divided and generally more tolerant.”

Cepee Tabibian

She Hit Refresh founder

Her decision became set during the summer of 2022 when Roe v. Wade was overturned, erasing the constitutional right to abortion.

“I nearly died after pregnancy complications, and I have two loved ones who nearly died after pregnancy complications, so this is personal for me,” she said.

Shortly afterward, the Supreme Court also ruled on presidential immunity regarding former President Donald Trump in his first term.

Days later, Segler reached out to Dutch immigration lawyers.

Segler is just one of a growing number of U.S. women who are either realizing lifelong dreams to live overseas or deciding that their quality of life could be better – for societal, health and safety, or political reasons – somewhere else.

In 2021, a little less than half of U.S. expats working abroad were women, according to a survey by InterNations.

With remote work on the rise and more countries offering digital nomad visas, relocating abroad has become more feasible than ever before.

She Hit Refresh embraces the idea that for women, moving abroad presents unique opportunities and challenges – but mainly that it’s never too late to make the leap.

‘A very different life point’

She Hit Refresh began as a personal journey for Tabibian, who, at 35, felt ready to leave her tech job behind in 2015.

Born and raised in Texas, Tabibian was eager to move to Spain, where she had taught English years earlier while earning her master’s degree.

But teaching English again felt like “a step backward” at her age, when “everyone looks like they have it all together.”

Moving abroad felt like something reserved for young people fresh out of college or retired people.

“I just didn’t find resources made for me; they didn’t understand the challenges I was moving as a woman who had life under my belt and responsibilities,” Tabibian said.

“There is a lot of information for someone doing a gap year at university – a very different life point. Would I lose my career moving abroad? What if I have debt or a mortgage or children?”

But once in Madrid, Tabibian met other female expats and learned more about visa options for staying in Spain.

In 2017, she started the Facebook group in response to friends and peers asking how she made the move.

Tabibian struck a chord.

In the first year, the Facebook group gained 4,000 women worldwide.

She Hit Refresh started a blog, then ran its first retreat in Morocco in 2019. It now offers a four-day live workshop on Zoom that breaks down how to move to Europe and helps attendees develop a personalized moving plan as well as a monthly membership to fast-track people’s moves, including resources and the ability to connect women to each other for support.

While lots of the women are ready for a grand adventure, many are looking to move to a country that aligns more with their values, ranging from the universal health care found in every European country to fleeing the anxiety-inducing political landscape in the U.S.

This year, 77% American adults said the future of the U.S. was the most significant source of stress in their lives, followed by the economy and 2024 presidential election, according to a survey by the American Psychological Association.

“With the increasingly polarized and divisive political climate in the U.S. since 2016, I began seeking a better quality of life overseas,” said Cindy Sheahan, who backpacked around the world before settling down in Portugal in 2022.

She started backpacking right around the time Trump first took office, although it was also prompted by her divorce.

She picked up and moved to Sicily in October. “Another Trump term was nonnegotiable for me,” she said.

Sheahan found She Hit Refresh when she was looking for a way to permanently live in Europe, ultimately qualifying for Italian citizenship by way of ancestry this year.

In her 60s, she said she feels like she doesn’t fit into U.S. culture and is drawn to the lack of consumer culture, lower cost of living and rich history found in countries like Portugal and Italy.

Safety also plays a big role for many women looking to move.

“They find that Europe offers a political climate that feels less charged, less divided and generally more tolerant,” Tabibian said.

“This is also a big driver for our intersectionally marginalized members, such as our LGBTQ+ members and our Black members, who find more welcoming environments and policies in Europe than in the U.S.”

The 2024 Global Peace Index, which determines the safest countries based on factors like violent crime, political instability, and homicide rates, ranked the U.S. 131st out of 162 countries, while Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands earned spots in the top 20.

Rates for age-adjusted firearm homicide in the U.S. are much higher than in Europe – 19 times more than in France and 77 times more than in Germany, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

‘A different choice’

Drawing from Tabibian’s own experience, the She Hit Refresh community normalizes how relocating to another country looks different for women than for men – not only regarding reproductive rights and safety concerns but even just the societal pressures of settling down.

“There’s that pressure to get settled down and have a family and have your life figured out, and those of us out there who want something else, we can feel other or maybe weird about making a different choice,” Tabibian said.

She Hit Refresh shows that with the right tools and connections, women can navigate the complexities of a fresh start.

“When I made my move, I felt like a lot of questions I got was a double standard, and maybe if I were a man, people wouldn’t be asking me the same questions in terms of safety or would I be able to get married or have kids,” Tabibian said.

For Segler, the Netherlands wasn’t even on her radar until the training session. Just a few months later, her life is now starting a new chapter.

“I am a woman in her early 50s who has tried to do her best every single day for decades,” Segler said.

“I am burned out in certain areas. I want to take care of me.

How to Get European PR from Dubai

Securing European Permanent Residency (PR) offers numerous benefits, including the freedom to live, work, and travel across the European Union (EU). For residents of Dubai considering this life-changing step, understanding the process and requirements is essential. This comprehensive guide aims to provide all the necessary information to navigate the path to European PR successfully.

Understanding How to Get European PR from Dubai

Eligibility Criteria

The eligibility criteria for European PR vary by country but generally include:

A valid long-term visa or residence permit

Proof of stable and sufficient income

Adequate housing

Health insurance

A clean criminal record

Specific requirements can differ, so it's essential to check the criteria for the country you're interested in.

Initial Steps to Take from Dubai

Research European Countries for PR: Start by researching which European countries offer PR programs and their specific requirements.

Consult with Immigration Experts: Seek advice from immigration consultants to understand the best pathways and options.

Set Realistic Goals and Timelines: Establish a clear plan with achievable milestones.

Choosing the Right Country

Quality of life

Economic opportunities

Language and cultural fit

PR program requirements and benefits

Employment-Based PR Options

Investment-Based PR Options

Investment programs, such as Portugal’s Golden Visa or Greece’s investment visa, allow individuals to obtain PR through financial investments in real estate, business, or government bonds.

The much vied-for Greece Golden Visa, (Permanent Residency) is currently one of the most affordable residency programmes in Europe and across the world, that provides global high-net worth individuals (with family) and investors a permanent home in Europe along with ‘ visa-free travel across Europe’. Free health and education as well as the freedom to set up a business in the county are among other benefits of the PR

This entry price investment is set to double in cost to a minimum of €400,000 from the current €250,000 starting September.

Indians, who’ve always dreamt of buying a holiday home in Greece, can avoid the impending price increase by taking prompt action and advancing their property purchases with Leptos Estates before August 31 in exotic locations such as Paros, Crete, and Santorini

Mumbai: May 30, 2024: Owning a dream holiday home in Greece as well as a Golden Visa with Permanent Residency, is set to become more expensive for all from August 31, 2024. In September, the Greek government will implement new laws that will double the minimum investment required for global citizens to own real estate in Greece.

Leptos Estates, a prominent real estate and property development firm specializing in residential, commercial and holiday residences including premium apartments and luxury villas in Greece and Cyprus, invites high-net worth individuals and investors from India to act swiftly and make their property investments in Greece before the rules change later this year.

Over the last few years, the popularity and demand for Greece’s Golden Visa Programme launched in 2013, has surged leading the Greek government to reconsider the entry points for real estate investment and Permanent Residency.

As per the new rule regarding Greece’s Golden Visa Program that is expected to be effective on August 31, 2024, there will be two minimum investment slabs for real estate transactions in the country. In Tier I, which comprises popular areas like Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and the islands, the minimum investment is expected to go up to €800,000 from the current €500,000; and in Tier II that covers all other regions of Greece, the entry point will go up to €400,000 from the current €250,000.

“As the deadline approaches, prices are expected to surge, potentially making the dream of owning a Greek home less attainable for Indian investors. We urge high net-worth individuals and investors to grab this unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure Permanent Residency in Greece while enjoying the chance to make promising returns on their investment at a minimum cost of an affordable €250,000. Once the new rules come into effect, the cost will double, and it will be a great chance missed. We have some aesthetically and sustainably designed, fully functional apartments and villas across Greece and in regions like Paros Crete, and Santorini that would make great homes for global citizens,” said Sanjay Sachdev, Group Marketing Director, Leptos Estates.

Investors can still apply under the current €250,000 minimum threshold if they pay a 10% deposit by Aug 31, 2024, and finalise the investment by December 31, 2024.

Among the several benefits of owning both a home and a Permanent Residency in one of the world's oldest civilisations is visa-free travel within Europe’s Schengen area, high returns from Greece’s booming real estate market, perfect weather through the year and a chance to experience the charming, idyllic Mediterranean culture.

The Residency is applicable to the whole family (married spouse, children under 21 years old, and parents of the main applicant and spouse) with eligibility to apply for citizenship also

Foreign homeowners in Greece are not required to reside in Greece and residence permits can be acquired within 6 months. Owners also have the option to rent out their investment property.

To raise awareness about the new rules coming into effect in September 2024, the Leptos Estates team, led by Sanjay Sachdev, Group Marketing Director, is conducting a series of roadshows in India. The team will be in Mumbai at Trident Hotel, BKC on 1st June, 2024.
