Get your free resultsWhat the Eligibility Checker Screens
Every visa programme has hard gates. Fail one and you are automatically disqualified. We record all six dimensions for the programmes in the database we can assess, and show you every one.
Age Gates
Many visa programmes impose strict age limits. Working Holiday visas typically cap at 30-35. Some skilled worker programmes cut off at 45 or 55. Retirement visas require a minimum age. Where a route sets an age window, we record it and show it as one of that programme's requirements.
Education Requirements
Blue Cards require a recognised degree. Regulated professions demand specific qualifications. Some countries require credential equivalency assessments. We record each programme's published minimum and show it beside the source we read it from.
Income & Savings Thresholds
Golden Visas start at $250,000+. Digital Nomad visas require monthly income proof. Skilled worker visas set minimum salary floors. The checker compares what you say you can show against every programme's recorded threshold — no guessing.
Language Requirements
Some countries require B1 or B2 proficiency in their national language before you can even apply. Others accept English. A few require C1 for regulated professions. Where a route sets a language level, we record it and show it, so you know before you apply.
Nationality Restrictions
Bilateral agreements open doors for some nationalities and close them for others. EU free movement applies only to EU/EEA citizens. CARICOM, Mercosur, and ECOWAS create regional blocs. The checker knows which agreements apply to your passport.
Profession Demand
Shortage occupation lists change by country and year. A nurse may qualify for fast-track visas in 30+ countries. A marketing manager may face restrictions in the same places. On work routes we ask what kind of work you do and read it against the occupations each programme names.
How the Immigration Eligibility Check Works
Three steps. Three minutes. Every programme checked at once.
Enter Your Profile
Give your passport, pick the route you are taking, and answer five straightforward questions about it. No account required. Every answer maps directly to one of the five factors we show for each programme.
We Screen a 7,000+ Programme Database
We run your answers against the programmes in the database with complete published requirements, all at once. Nationality blocks and the route's own core requirement come first. Programmes whose published requirements your answers do not meet are removed from your results immediately.
See What You Actually Qualify For
Remaining programmes are shown factor by factor across the five we record: eligibility profile, core route requirement, financial requirement, rights and restrictions, and duration. You see real options backed by sourced requirements — not aspirational destinations.
"Most immigration tools show you countries you would LIKE to move to. We show you where your profile meets the published requirements — a screening result, not a guarantee of entry."
Screening only, not legal advice. This tool shows which programmes' published requirements your profile meets — it does not decide or guarantee any immigration outcome. Confirm current requirements on the official source, and consult a licensed immigration professional before applying.

What Gets Eliminated — A Real Example
See how hard gates work. Here is a sample profile and what the immigration eligibility calculator removes.
Sample Profile
Age: 52 Education: High school diploma Savings: €15,000 Languages: English only Profession: Sales manager Nationality: NigerianAge caps of 30–35 are standard on Working Holiday schemes, so this whole category drops out in one check.
Blue Card requires a recognised higher education qualification across every EU member state, so the whole route is removed.
Investment visas typically require €250,000+ minimum. Portugal, Greece and Spain Golden Visa programmes are all removed.
Programmes requiring B2 Spanish, French, or German proficiency are removed. Countries with English-friendly pathways remain.
The questionnaire helps organise the information to explore. It does not determine eligibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the immigration eligibility checker and how visa eligibility screening works.
An immigration eligibility checker is a tool that evaluates your personal profile — your passport, the route you are taking, and five questions about your situation — against the actual legal requirements of visa programmes worldwide. Instead of reading through hundreds of government websites, the checker automatically identifies which programmes you qualify for and which ones eliminate you based on hard gates like age caps, minimum income thresholds, or education requirements.
Our immigration eligibility checker screens your profile against 7,000+ visa programmes across 200+ countries and territories. This includes work visas, skilled worker programmes, investor visas, digital nomad visas, retirement visas, golden visas, and family reunification pathways. Most programme requirements are sourced directly from official government publications (the rest from a named non-government source), and all of it is verified regularly.
Yes. The eligibility check is completely free. You answer a 3-minute questionnaire about your route, and we screen you against our 7,000+ programme database at no cost. You receive one matching programme on screen for free, and three more if you leave your email. The paid report covers up to 100 destination countries, one programme each, with every requirement and its source.
The eligibility check is based on official government-published requirements, verified and updated regularly. Hard gates — age limits, minimum education levels, income thresholds — are binary: you either meet them or you do not, so accuracy on elimination is very high. Soft factors like points-based scoring or employer sponsorship likelihood involve estimation. We clearly distinguish between confirmed eligibility and estimated match strength in every result.
It is extremely rare to qualify for zero programmes out of a 7,000+ programme database. Even profiles with significant constraints typically match 30-80 programmes. If your results are limited, we show exactly which requirements are blocking you — for example, a language requirement you could meet with 6 months of study, or a savings threshold you are close to reaching. This turns a negative result into an actionable roadmap with clear next steps.
No. The eligibility checker is a screening and discovery tool. It identifies which programmes you likely qualify for based on published requirements, saving you from spending hours researching countries that would reject you. Once you have narrowed your list to 2-3 serious options, consulting an immigration lawyer for the specific programme you are pursuing is strongly recommended. Think of it as triage before specialist advice — it ensures you only pay for legal counsel on viable options.
We monitor legislative changes across all 200+ countries continuously. Major programme changes — new visa categories, updated age limits, revised investment thresholds — are typically reflected within 1-2 weeks of official publication. Each programme entry includes a last-verified date so you can see how current the data is. Our database was last comprehensively audited in April 2026, with 7,965 individual corrections applied across all data files.
