What we could prove this month.

Immigration rules move quietly: a fee goes up, an income floor moves, a route stops accepting applications. This is every change we could confirm against an official government page — and nothing we could not.

Start from where you are

Your options depend on the passport you already hold.

Eligibility is not the same question for everyone. These collections start from the country you are leaving — the routes open to that nationality, the documents those consulates ask for, and the thresholds that actually apply.

— How this blog is sourced

Every requirement, fee and threshold comes from the government that set it.

We do not paraphrase relocation agencies. A number enters an article only with the official page it came from, the jurisdiction it applies in, and the date we last checked it. Where we could not confirm a figure, the article says so instead of guessing — a blank is safer than a wrong answer when someone is planning a move.

If we get it wrong, we fix it publicly. No SEO listicles, no AI filler, no affiliate-dressed-as-research.

  • Last review June 2026 180 of 1,009 articles carry a visible last-checked date. The rest are undated — we print a review date only where one was actually recorded, never a guess.
  • Where the data comes from Data sources The government portals behind the database.
  • How we decide Methodology And the editorial standards we hold ourselves to.
  • What we do not know Limitations Published, not buried. Corrections in errata.
