American Gloryhunter Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 So, I understand the basic workings of the English FA's work permit system. But my question is this: are there EU member countries that will grant my player citizenship faster than others? I hear Belgium thrown around frequently as a place to send non-continentals, but is this because they grant citizenship faster or just because they don't have limits on non-EU players like in Spain? If it varies, is there a list anywhere that contains each EU country and time it takes to gain citizenship playing in that country? Thanks in advance for the help.

If your player is from a spansih speaking country, and you have a spanish feeder club, it only takes two years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Gloryhunter Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Anyone know the ins and outs of the Italian leagues in particular? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjamark Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Anyone know the ins and outs of the Italian leagues in particular? You mean you are managing in Italy? Your only allowed to sign one non EU player from outside of Italy per season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Gloryhunter Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 You mean you are managing in Italy?Your only allowed to sign one non EU player from outside of Italy per season. No. Say I want to manage an English club and establish my link with a feeder in Italy. How long would it take non-EU players to gain their citizenship playing in Italy? And would the loan signing count against the 'one foreigner per window' for the Italian club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamdring Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Italy is not a good idea. Takes 5 years I think and yes loans do count as their one foreigner. Plus the player isn't guaranteed to take Italian citizenship at the end of all that anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-platt Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Bulgaria is another 3 year country. The work permits are all to do with the amount of time in that individual country, I have had players who have been granted permits after offering them new contracts after only a year on loan to a WP team. This is very unusual from my experience though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 belgum 3 years i think thats the fastest. If your from a Spanish speaking South American nation then Spain is quicker because the wait is only 2 years. This rule also applies to some other Spanish speaking nations but I cant remember who they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
