Top 8 European Immigration Questions Shenzhen Parents Care About Most
Common questions during the 2026 policy update
Will submitting an application be affected after the annual salary adjustment for the German Blue Card 2026?
Subject to policies at time of submission. We recommend submitting your materials before 5 to lock in the current annual salary threshold (€56400/€45120).
After Poland adjusted its work visa policy in 7, do existing work visa holders apply for permanent residence under the old or new regulations?
Subject to the policy in effect at the time of visa approval. Applicants under the old rules are unaffected and need only 1 years of employment to qualify for permanent residency.
What are the advantages of applying for European immigration through Shenzhen?
1) Simplified Schengen visa application process for Shenzhen residents; 2) Local advisory team for more efficient communication; 3) Direct access to German and Polish employer networks to reduce processing time.
What is the difference between a German Blue Card and a regular work visa?
The Blue Card requires higher qualifications (education + salary) but offers better benefits (2 years to permanent residency, family members can work). The standard work visa has a lower threshold and can later be upgraded to a Blue Card.
Can rental properties purchased under Poland's investor immigration program be rented out?
Yes. Rental yields for properties in the core areas of Warsaw and Krakow range from 3.5% to 5%, covering holding costs and generating passive income.
Can I work in other EU countries after obtaining a European residence permit?
Hold an EU permanent residence permit or passport to live and work freely in 27 EU countries. While holding a residence card, you primarily reside in the country of application but can travel freely within the Schengen Area.
What should I do if my application is rejected?
We'll analyze your visa denial at no cost and help you prepare an appeal or reapply. In 2025, our appeal success rate exceeded 70%.
How long does it take to obtain an EU passport?
Germany: Eligible for permanent residency after 2 years on a Blue Card; citizenship application possible after 8 years. Poland: Eligible for permanent residency after 5 years on a work visa; citizenship application possible after 10 years.
