Netim.com is a French registrar where I hold some domains, including a valuable .eu one. They informed me via letter that changes in the rules by the European Commission prohibit the use of a proxy service for .eu, .ею or .ευ domain names. These rules will come into effect on October 13, 2022, and call for the registrant details to be updated to a person who is an EU resident or has EU citizenship.
Failure to comply with these conditions may lead to EURid deleting the domain name. As a non-EU resident, I am uncertain about what to do next. One option is to transfer the domain to another registrar like Godaddy or Reg.ru. Alternatively, I could attempt using false information.

What do you think about the new regulations for .eu domains?

Your bravery is truly impressive and admirable, you are certainly a hero. The critical aspect of the matter is "verification". Are you capable of enduring the verification process? Do you have the necessary resources and stamina? If not, it might be best to simply move on.

Being able to handle challenges and push through difficult situations is a valuable trait. Have you ever had to show bravery in a tough situation?

Based on the letter, the problem is that the new rules are introduced by the registry, not the current registrar.
That is, the new registrar will have to meet the same conditions before the registry and also make you confirm the same items.

Then only nja.la, I guess.

They provide proxies in the EU, VPNs of all sorts, but I suspect that you can lose domains too. This is my strictly personal opinion.

That is, it is better to find a person resident in the European Union and put his data in the details of the domain?
And how, in this case, is the verification?

The .eu has always had a requirement that the owner of the domain be located in the European Union. What they're writing about is a tightening. Now you can't register domains through proxies.
Accordingly, you have to find a friend who you trust 100% and register the domain in his name. It will be his domain in full.

Check identity and address, you may need to attach supporting documents.  That is, it must be a person who will be willing to bother, and with whom you have a good relationship.

There are certain registrars that resell their services and offer a limited period for paid domain name restoration, while there are some exotic zones with unclear rules regarding extension terms. For most gTLD domains, standard renewal prices are available for up to 30 days after the expiration date.

However, in exotic zones like .de, .es, .eu, .me, .us, etc., renewals need to be made within a specific number of days before the payment period ends, usually ranging from 1 to 7 days. It's possible that other similar zones allow standard price extensions until the expiration date within a few days. Nevertheless, overdue payments in these exotic zones can cost upwards of 50u.e, as set by the registrar or a reseller.

Do you have any experience with registering or renewing domain names?
