Facilitating services to African migrating into the EU

Move with people who already know the way.

Baraza-Table pairs practical guidance on visas, work and housing with a circle of people from home — so settling in Europe stops feeling like starting from zero.

People gathered around a round Baraza table
14

countries across the EU where our members are meeting, mentoring and helping each other file paperwork this month.

Consulting

The paperwork and the plan, handled by people who've done it.

Every consultant at Stanley Consulting has migrated within the last decade — from Lagos to Lisbon, Nairobi to Berlin. They know which offices to call twice.

§

Migration & legal guidance

Residence permits, family reunification, asylum procedure, and appeals — reviewed by advisers familiar with each country's system.

↗

Work & study pathways

CV localisation, credential recognition, and introductions into sectors that are actually hiring in your city right now.

⌂

Housing & settling in

Contract reviews, tenant rights by country, opening a bank account, registering with local authorities — the first-month checklist.

Togetherness

You shouldn't have to figure out a new country alone.

Stanley Consulting organises small, recurring circles in each EU city as a part mentorship, part Sunday dinner.

Weekly

Mentorship circles

Small groups matched by profession and background, led by someone a few years further along the same path.

Monthly

City meetups

Informal gatherings in Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Lisbon, Amsterdam and more — food, music, and people who get it.

Ongoing

Skill exchange

Members trade what they know — language practice, tax help, childcare swaps — inside the same trusted network.

How it works

Three steps to your first circle.

Tell us where you're starting from

Your country of origin, current city, and what's most urgent — a visa deadline, a job search, a place to live.

Get matched with the right adviser

We connect you with a consultant who has handled your specific situation before, not a general hotline.

Join your local circle

You're added to a small group in your city for ongoing support long after the paperwork is done.

I landed in Rotterdam not knowing a single office to walk into. Six weeks later I had my residence permit sorted and a group of Kenyans two streets away who still check on me.

I came to Berlin and started out working as a househelp, not knowing anyone. Stanley Consulting showed me where I could take my classes, and today I am a nurse. I'm still part of my circle.
