Barbara O.

“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.
“

AreviewerA-1263

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

I decided to move as soon as I retired, I wanted to live in a warm European country, in my own apartment with a good view, and close to the sea. I chose Astons because a partner had received citizenship through them and recommended them highly. On consultation, I chose Greece, I was pleased I could buy directly in Athens with residency included, and surprisingly, it was affordable. Everything was arranged quickly, including a property viewing trip. Now I enjoy the view of the Acropolis from my window, and the sea is just 20 minutes away. I am extremely satisfied.

Katyt

I am an entrepreneur, and recently started thinking about moving to a warmer country. Started looking at options to relocate to Europe. Portugal immediately seemed interesting: European country, mild climate, good infrastructure. Through a business partner, I reached Astons. At the consultation, they explained in detail how PR works, what investments are needed, the timing. Everything suited me, and we launched the process. PR already obtained. Thanks to Astons and especially Alex Kosovsky.

Alex Hayes

Entrepreneur

My son enrolled at UCLA and I had long planned a project in the US. I chose EB‑5 to combine personal and business goals. Astons found a turnkey project; I only invested. All EB‑5 requirements were met. Special thanks to Alena — she supported us from the first call to filing. Meeting in the US was a bonus. The service was very professional – no pressure or panic, just what I wanted.

Catherine Bielkina

I turned to Astons for Dominican citizenship. It just so happened that I applied literally a few weeks before the Caribbean countries announced an increase in the investment threshold. I am grateful to Susanna and her team for doing everything to submit my documents before the deadline. I saved a significant amount and obtained my second passport.

Stephanie A.

I planned to obtain European residency and sought advice from Astons. They outlined all the options, and I decided to invest in a fund rather than real estate. Portugal was the best fit for me. Everything was handled as promised, and there were no hidden fees. Now I have a residence permit and a cozy apartment near the ocean, with the added bonus of a Portuguese passport in 5 years – if I master the language)

Annwolk

I wanted to buy an apartment in Turkey for rental income and turned to Astons for help. I liked their approach, clear, professional, and to the point. They selected several options in Istanbul and handled all the paperwork. Now I not only earn rental income but also have Turkish residency, allowing me to visit anytime!

Matimatida

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

We were looking for a peaceful, sunny place by the sea to retire. Greece ticked all the boxes! Astons took care of the entire residency process and spared us the bureaucracy and paperwork. They explained everything clearly and were always ready to answer our questions. Special thanks for accompanying us on our trip and helping us find a villa — it was comfortable and incredibly productive. Now we spend our days enjoying the sunshine, local architecture, and unbelievably delicious food!

John William Smith

I obtained Maltese permanent residency through Astons — I’d been considering it for a while as it’s ideal for me in terms of taxes and the path to an EU passport. My advisor was always available and helped during my visit with selecting property and understanding every detail of the process. I’ve just received my documents — I was nervous, but everything went to plan. I’m so pleased everything worked out on time and without complications.
