Buying .EU

[tmtbrian]

Can someone name a good place where a .EU can be bought if you are an individual and do not live in the European Union, or are you out of luck if this is the case.

Thanks

And you can probably arrange something re: residency. Create a $100 company with an address in the EU. I have not looked at this in detail, but those are first thoughts. Someone please take the relay.

If you do not live in EU, you can not buy EU names.

If you have an address in EU you are eligible to get .eu domains.
The easiest way is to setup a company (as vrcanada said) .
From what I know the UK seems to be a perfect place since you can setup a company in less than 1 day (some hours) very cheap. Since you are not EU citizen you might need to use their address (it's a service you pay for).

And it's 100% legal to do so. There is nothing wrong at it.
After you do that, you can buy .eu domains.
