Hey all. So I have looked at the prerequisites for achieving permanent residency and I am pretty sure I have them all met. I am self employed(online poker player), have money in the bank, have a clean record, good credit score, and will be renting an apartment. First question is that good enough? The lawyers I have talked to said it is but they are also trying to charge me 3500 euros so I am skeptical. Secondly, is there any way to do this and not to pay some lawyer 3500 euros??!?! Seems outrageous to charge that much but I have never done this before. I really appreciate the responses people. Thanks alot.
