This page lists programmes in Canada, Germany, Australia, Portugal and United Arab Emirates recorded in our earlier catalogue, each with a link to its official source. Routes reserved by bilateral agreement to citizens of other countries were removed. It is not a ranking and it does not decide whether you qualify: each programme has its own conditions (qualifications, job offer, language, money), and amounts and processing times change. Check every requirement on the official page before you plan.
Youth mobility and working holiday visas are left out. They exist only between countries with a bilateral agreement. The official lists checked on 20 October 2026 do not include India: Canada (IRCC) • Germany (Federal Foreign Office) • Australia (Home Affairs, subclass 417) • Portugal (MNE visa portal). Australia is the exception: India passport holders can apply for the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462), through a pre-application ballot.

How to read this list
- Routes with “post-study” or “graduate” in the name are for people who completed a degree in that country.
- Work routes usually need a job offer or an employer, and some need a recognised qualification.
- The names and links come from our earlier catalogue; the official page is the authority. Amounts, fees and processing times are not repeated here because they change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Indians move to another country without a job offer?
Some routes do not need a job offer — Germany's Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), for example, is for job seekers — but each one sets its own conditions on qualifications, language and money. Check the official page of the route before you plan.
Which route is fastest for Indians?
Processing times depend on the route, on the consulate that serves you and on your case, and they change. The official page of each programme, or the consulate, publishes the current time.
How much money do Indians need to move?
It depends on the programme: some set an income or savings amount, others a salary paid by the employer. Check the amount on the official page of the programme you choose, and add visa fees, travel and the first months of living costs.
