France Testimonials
As a family of four living in Toronto, Canada, we are not the biggest fans of the frigid North American winter. Since both my husband and I work remotely online, there was no reason for us to subject ourselves to just one locale while working. We could pitch our sales anywhere with an internet connection, so why not let our children experience more of this world? So my husband and I would be overjoyed if we could move our roots to Europe. Another added bonus is that we would not have to worry about escaping the horrid winter in Ontario, ever!
First we aimed for Monaco, but it turned out to be rather difficult, as the country required a large sum of money for investment in order to obtain residency. Thus, we turned our attention to France. We met with specialists from Inimex in their office in Nice and they provided us exactly what we wanted: assurance and assistance for a quick and easy move to France.
They first managed to prepare us the complete package needed to obtain a French visa and we had it on our passports just 2 weeks from submitting all materials in the French consulate in Toronto. The family quickly mobilized and settled in the Côte d’Azur region, where Inimex helped us find a beautiful apartment within walking distance to the sea and a stone’s throw from imposing mountains full of skiing opportunities. Just 2 months after arriving in France, we were accompanied by Inimex professionals to go to the prefecture immigration office. To my surprise, we managed to finish the physical examination, conduct the interview, and obtain our residence stamp on our passports, all on the same day! What was more comforting is the fact that our two children got a 5 year card all in one go, while my husband and I simply needed to renew it every year. When we first renewed our residency with assistance from Inimex recently, we obtained the residence card with ease. Immigrating to France turned out to be much faster and simpler than I expected.
Now the family is doing better than ever in our new home. Not only had us kept our business connections in Canada, my husband and I also managed to expand our scopes into the European market thanks to our convenient location.
The neighbourhood is 90% local, so it was a great opportunity for both generations of the house to blend into the charming French culture. Crime is almost unheard of, and food is absolutely delicious. Weekends are scheduled with all kinds of activities ranging from beach picnics to ski lessons, and the occasional family trip to another new city in Europe.
The kids go to a prestigious private school, but its high quality comes with little cost: we pay just 200 Euros a month. Medical bills are also lower, and all other bills are set up by Inimex so we could focus more on our career. Without these local experts helping us transition into our new life, I believe our move to France would be as confusing as our attempt for Monaco. I can say, without a doubt, our lives have been drastically improved here in France, and everyone in the family is looking forward to an ever better future.
We lived in the bay area of California, USA. Both my wife and I were near the age of retirement, so we had been looking for a place of peace and quiet for a while. We have travelled extensively in Europe, which is my favorite continent in the world. Thanks to our good form, we are luckily still physically active, so we especially loved France. It not only offers scenic drives and a relaxing cityscape, but also provides us with a multitude of hiking, skiing and swimming opportunities in regions such as the Alps and Pyrenees. While my wife is deeply in love with the French gastronomy scene characterized by fresh local produce and innovated methods, I find French architecture equally intriguing. The culture behind such a marvellous country is what kept us coming back frequently. However, with our American passports, we were only allowed to stay in France and the European Union for 90 days every 6 months, which was a big inconvenience since we always found France hard to leave behind. Thus, coming to Europe every time became a math problem as we scrambled to calculate our time remaining.
It was too mentally taxing that I decided to look up options that can allow us to live in France long term, and that was when we found Inimex. Initially I was very under-informed about immigration to Europe, and had wasted countless hours on the internet looking for relevant information. However, there were a plethora of different explanations and contradicting policies, so I was still clueless. Inimex cleared all my confusions in a mere hour of private consultation with one of their France immigration experts. It was especially effective because I was not dealing with pages of cold, professional jargon but instead a knowledgeable human being who cared about my future. Now armed with all information needed, I gladly accepted to work with Inimex to prepare our documents necessary to apply for an immigrant visa. Thanks to their help, our visa arrived on my table surprisingly fast, only 10 days after my trip to the France consulate in San Francisco.
We were both ecstatic when we arrived at the south of France as a prospective immigrant, and quickly found a beautiful home suitable for retirement. We had been eyeing for the region for a while, since it has year-round sunshine and marvellous mountains that my wife adore. Inimex helped us contact the real estate agent and translated everything necessary, since neither of us speak or write sufficient French. The local team at France even helped us take care of the water and electricity bills, all free of charge! Most importantly, Inimex made sure that we were all set to go for the application of residence permit once we landed, and we got our French residency without any hiccup. I believe working with Inimex had taken a lot of weight off our shoulders, as their experts are local and experienced, which was exactly what we needed.
My wife and I are still in the phase of 1 year residency, but Inimex has been helping us renewing it every year. We have been travelling in Europe much more often than before, resting easy that our residency allowed us hassle-free travel whenever we want. Local airports have convenient connections to the rest of the continent, at a surprisingly affordable price. Honestly, I feel like we are already at home here in France. Living expenses are especially low compared to California, and the health care system was nothing short of amazing. While in the United States we paid thousands each year to cover our medical insurance, here it merely costs a few hundreds, and we could enjoy English service throughout Europe on our French program. I made numerous friends thanks to local programs that help foreigners learn French and appreciate French culture. Mere minutes from our house, we would be able to join the thrice-weekly farmers market selling local specialties held next to an impressive medieval castle. Vineyards, hiking trails, pristine lakes and adorable cafes are quickly turning into an inseparable part of our lives.
By the help of Inimex, we managed to turn our dream intro reality within half a year! We adapted into French life faster than we had ever imagined; we made more friends in the past few months than we ever did; we are enjoying a life higher in quality than before; and we now have unlimited freedom to savour our retired time. Retiring in France has become an invaluable investment for my family.
Originally from Hong Kong, my parents and I relocated to the United-States 20 years ago. I grew up in the United-States and obtained American citizenship. 7 years ago my wife, our son and I decided to move to France. We signed a full service agreement with Inimex to assist us on all the services from beginning : the French visa application, permanent residency application, French citizenship application, as well as with all administrative work such as obtaining our French driver’s license, prepare our tax declarations, purchase a property, register our son into a private school and open a bank account.
3 months ago, we finally received a positive answer regarding our French citizenship application. Since a few days, my family and I received our French national ID card and French passports.
I really appreciate our life in France. We all speak fluently Chinese, English and French. My son studies in a very prestigious French school. Thanks to Inimex, they accomplished the mission of the agreement and assisted us very well from the beginning and at every stage of our immigration process.
Testimonials Monaco
We are a family with 2 young children, and our family business was doing well at home. We have a few friends living in Monaco and have been to the tiny principality countless times to visit. Both my husband and I adored the lifestyle at the quaint yet bustling city of Monte-Carlo, and our children loved the sunny Mediterranean weather.
So we decided to move to Monaco, after learning that was actually possible during a consultation with Inimex. They proposed for us to get the residency in France first with their wealthy individual program and then apply for Monaco residency once we are in France. Guess what? It worked so well that I was shocked! The entire process was so fast that our family obtained our Monaco residency within the year.
Now my husband and I have fully embraced our life in the luxurious city state. Our children go to very prestigious private schools and speak fluent French and English, and we travel very often to the neighbouring countries of France and Italy. We bought a big house and some nice cars. We do not have to worry about any crime as the city is very safe and my husband drives his car around without any hesitation, unlike the area where we come from. Inimex also helps us renew our residency every year, so we really had nothing but great experiences with our move to Monaco.
I have had a lot of businesses in many parts of the world and I have always heard of the great reputation to do businesses in Monaco. Thus, I have always wanted to open a new venture in Monaco and I believed with it, I could conquer a new world. I found Inimex and expressed my desires, and they quickly helped me find a local Monaco partner to work with. From calling the government agencies asking for permission to filing with the relevant authorities to get approval, they helped me a lot. We managed to finish the registration of the company within 6 months, and the moment I saw my company’s named published in Journal de Monaco, I was excited beyond belief. I probably would have never even dreamed of having a company without any help, and now look where I am! Inimex then helped me apply for a visa and get a residence card, all without any fuss.
My company now is doing phenomenally well, and because of that I have to travel quite a lot. The good name of Monaco businesses is widespread thanks to the robust banking system we get to enjoy at this place, as huge transactions would be approved within minutes. I really loved the fact that this very advantage brought me many clients in Asia and Africa, and now I got to buy a nice apartment facing the sea with fantastic views. Whenever the F1 race arrives in town, I do not even need to turn on my TV: I can watch the entire race from my window! I made many local friends in the prestigious social circle, and that was when I met my wife. She is from a historically famous local family, and it is the honor of my life to be able to have her by my side, for the rest of my life. Since I was already a local resident, the process was fast and easy. And truthfully, I could not have experienced this drastic improvement of my life if there is no Inimex. Thank you!
Testimonials Switzerland
My husband and I are from a small town in USA, but we enjoy sports and hiking our entire life. I like to believe that the secret of remaining young is to be active physically, and if you do not favor the outdoors, you start to age rapidly even when you are in your 20s. That is why we travelled quite a lot in Europe during our years, as I really loved the fact that a lot of Europeans favor the great wilderness instead of malls. I especially loved the German speaking side of Switzerland, as it is one of my favorite mountainous regions in the whole world. Lots of beautiful ski opportunities, hiking trails, biking routes and more. In the US, we simply do not have dramatic mountains like the snowy Alps, so we spend a few weeks each year just exploring this region as tourists. However, as we were nearing the age of retirement, my husband I started considering the possibility of moving to Switzerland as our retirement plan. It sounds bold, but we had nothing to lose, but so much to gain. I started googling about the possibility of retiring in Switzerland, and found quite a large number of agencies offering similar programs. I contacted some of the most trustworthy ones, and liked Inimex the most. Their fees and processing costs are the most reasonable and fair, and they answered all my questions quickly and professionally. So I decided to sign an agreement with them, after discussing with my husband about what we found.
Inimex really got to work the very day we agreed to work together, as they started compiling all the necessary documents in order for us to apply for a visa. We got it within 3 weeks and just came to Switzerland right away. Inimex also had a local real estate partner who accompanied us to look for the right property, and went all around the neighborhood helping us pick the best one to rent. After we made sure we liked to retire here permanently, they also helped us purchase a great place to live. Their associates also helped me sort out my electricity bills, internet accounts, bank situations and even tax registrations as they told us it was in their lifetime service for the clients, which I was very very happy with. Inimex really helped us a lot, as now we go back to US for some vacation for a few weeks a year, as we both got our residency cards, so the table has turned. We cannot think of a better agency that could have assisted us other than Inimex.
Testimonials Malta
Our family of four started looking for a new place to relocate once I inherited the company from my father. While the business was doing well, the oil and gas industry is prone to volatile disruptions, so it is better for us to create a safety net for our next generation. We have been doing so for a while, and our French apartment right underneath the Eiffel Tower. However, there was severe travel restrictions with our passports, and we first tried immigrating to Canada. Soon we realized that we could not stay the mandatory 2 years every 5 years, and had to come back to Europe, searching for a new location to relocate. We were all very disappointed when we had to leave our Montreal apartment abandoned and that was when we found Inimex in France. They recommended Malta and so we quickly signed agreement with Inimex.
They got to work even before we signed the agreement, and had everything translated, legalized and in front of me for final check within a week. We applied and in a month and a half we obtained e-residency. So we came to Malta, bought a nice apartment in front of the Mediterranean Sea in Sliema, our kids’ favorite place in the world. I personally love the people who are genuine and kind, while everyone said the local food is incredible. So once we settled down, Inimex initiated the next stage and we applied for the citizenship. Within 1 year, we had our certificates, and Maltese passport. The awesome thing about Malta is that it lets me keep my old passport and there was no need to face legislative problems back home. I am so grateful of Inimex and cannot thank them enough for the work they have done. This was probably the best result for our family
Me and my wife are lucky enough to be international way before we immigrated. Our business spanned two countries and we lived in both, or on some airplane flying in between, but sadly we wished there was more opportunities to live in Europe. We had education in Switzerland and France, and really had a deep connection with the continent. We saw a nice new program with Malta that could easily facilitate travel within Europe. Our local contact in Malta recommended us Inimex, who was an expert in this field, so we happily followed his advice. Inimex was really professional, and during our consultation, their immigration lawyer explained almost everything so clearly that we had no question to ask any more. They answered everything perfectly and we had our application done within weeks after our arrival in Malta. They prepared documents, organized translation and notarization and much more behind the scenes so I did not have to even know about it.
We got our residence card within half a month, and during the first year here in Malta we had a lot of work cut out for us. Malta government does very rigorous search on the background of every single applicant, and that meant a lot of documents to provide, verify and translate. Thankfully, Inimex helped us all the way, and there was not a thing that we had to worry. Our case was accepted quickly, and once contribution was done, we obtained our third citizenship, because we did not have to give up our previous two citizenship. Inimex’s local agents also showed us around many exclusive places such as the yacht club and the golf meetings, so we both had more connections and thus more business partners.
