A: Yes. Spouse and dependent visas available. Add $800-1,200 per person to your tier. $300 for pets.
Q: What if my application is rejected?
A: 90%+ approval rate. If rejected due to our error, full refund. If rejected due to your situation (which we screen for upfront), we help you reapply or find alternative country.

A: Depends on country. Spain/Portugal: No. Netherlands/Germany: Usually yes. Switzerland: Yes. We help with job placement if needed (+$1,500 service fee).

A: 2-6 months average depending on country and tier. Spain: 1-3 months. Germany: 2-6 months. We provide exact timelines during consultation.

A: 100% legal. We only help qualified applicants apply through official channels. We don't fake documents or create fake jobs. Everything is legitimate and transparent.

Q: What makes biotech different?
A: Biotech professionals often need:
  • Credential validation for research roles
  • Understanding of EU research landscape
  • Lab/facility connections
  • Grant application knowledge (Horizon Europe)
  • We specialize in these unique needs
Q: How does the EU track visas?
A: New for 2025–2026: Europe’s border controls have gone digital. Now, all non-EU travelers must register fingerprints and a facial photo instead of getting a passport stamp when entering any Schengen country. The new Entry/Exit System (EES) strictly tracks your stay, issuing instant flags for any overstays—even a single day—for both tourists and digital nomads. Our team will keep you up to date and guide you through every new EU requirement.​
