Choose your destination

Every country runs its own system. Start with the destination you have in mind and see which visa routes actually fit your situation.

Canada

Express Entry, provincial nomination or a study permit — see which Canadian route fits your situation before you start an application.

Remote workers, retirees, students and employees each use a different Spanish route. Find yours before booking anything.

Italy's quota system catches many applicants by surprise. Understand the timing and the route options first.

Blue Card, skilled worker visa or a job seeker route — see which German option matches your qualifications.

Most French routes run through a long-stay visa that doubles as a residence permit once validated.

Almost every UK work route needs a licensed sponsor. Check what your route requires before you apply.

Points-tested, state nominated or employer sponsored — Australia's options differ far more than they look.

US routes are split between temporary and permanent categories, each with very different waiting times.

Norway's skilled worker permit sets clear conditions on qualifications, pay and the role itself.

Swiss permits are decided canton by canton and, for many applicants, limited by annual quotas.

Sweden's rules focus on the offer itself: how it was advertised, what it pays and what it insures.
