Come funziona l’Assistenza CRUE

Un processo chiaro per trasformare la sua domanda sul CRUE in una pratica di registrazione comunale preparata.

Fase 1: verifica preliminare gratuita

Invia un breve messaggio sulla sua situazione CRUE. Le suggeriremo il prossimo passo pratico.

Risposta breve

CRUE Assistance inizia con un pre-check gratuito, poi passa alla conferma dell’ambito, a una checklist specifica per il comune, alla revisione dei documenti e al supporto pratico nella fase municipale. Il processo serve a ridurre l’incertezza prima del confronto con la Câmara Municipal, non a sostituire l’autorità pubblica. Se il caso supera il CRUE standard, lo identifichiamo presto e indichiamo il percorso successivo appropriato.

Fase 2: conferma dell’ambito e del prezzo

Se il caso rientra nel servizio standard, confermiamo il pacchetto di Assistenza CRUE da 500 EUR e spieghiamo che cosa è incluso e che cosa è escluso.

Fase 3: checklist dei documenti

Le forniamo una checklist adattata al suo comune e alla sua situazione: lavoratore dipendente, autonomo, studente, pensionato, autosufficiente o caso familiare.

Fase 4: revisione dei documenti

Esaminiamo ciò che ha e individuiamo eventuali lacune prima della fase comunale.

Fase 5: assistenza nella procedura comunale

A seconda del comune, aiutiamo con il percorso di appuntamento, la pre-presentazione online, la preparazione alla presenza fisica o le comunicazioni pratiche.

Fase 6: appuntamento e seguito

Quando necessario, assistiamo durante l’appuntamento comunale e aiutiamo a gestire le ragionevoli richieste successive del comune.

What we check before you move forward

Before we confirm whether the standard CRUE Assistance package fits your case, we review the main factors that affect how straightforward or complex your situation is.

✓

Nationality and eligibility. CRUE applies to EU, EEA, Swiss and Andorran citizens. Non-EU family members follow a different route and are not covered by the standard service.

✓

Municipality. Your Câmara Municipal determines the appointment process, document format requirements and practical timelines. We check the specific requirements for your area.

✓

Proof of address. This is the most common point of friction. We identify which address documents you have, whether they are likely to be accepted and what alternatives exist if they are not.

✓

Basis of residence. Employee, self-employed, student, retiree, self-sufficient resident and family cases each require different supporting documents.

✓

Family situation. If you are applying with a spouse, partner or children, the documents required for each person are part of the review.

✓

Missing documents. We identify gaps early so preparation can happen before the appointment is booked, not after it is missed.

This review is part of the Free CRUE Pre-Check and takes a few minutes to complete.

What we do not do

Being clear about what the service does not include helps avoid misunderstandings.

✗

We do not create or source fake addresses. Address proof must reflect where you actually live. This is a firm rule without exceptions.

✗

We do not guarantee municipal acceptance. The decision to accept or reject a CRUE application is made by the municipality. We work to give your case the best practical preparation, not to promise a specific outcome.

✗

We do not replace official municipal decisions. If a municipality requests additional documents or refuses an application, we help you respond, but we cannot override their decision.

✗

We do not treat CRUE as a visa or citizenship route. CRUE is a registration certificate. It is not a visa, a permanent residence card or a citizenship application.

How long does it take?

Timing varies and we do not give fixed guarantees. The main factors are: how quickly your municipality schedules appointments, how complete your documents are at the start, and whether the municipality requests any follow-up.

In practice, the preparation phase takes days to a few weeks depending on your document situation. Municipal appointments in larger cities can have waiting times. Having well-prepared documents reduces the chance of a rejected appointment or a second visit.

If you have a specific date pressure, mention it in the Free CRUE Pre-Check so we can flag potential bottlenecks early.
