Global Visa Options

Remote-work visas for employees and freelancers earning income from outside the host country. Typically 1–5 years, renewable.

Residence (and in some cases citizenship) by investment — real estate, funds, business creation, or government bonds. Thresholds €200K – $10M+.

Visas for pensioners or people with verified passive income — pensionado, D7, rentista, wealthy pensioner, etc. No local work required.

Routes to residence or citizenship based on a parent, grandparent, or (in some jurisdictions) great-grandparent's nationality.

Family reunification with a citizen or legal resident — spouse, partner, dependent children, or (in some countries) parents.

Startup-specific routes with endorsement or fund-backing requirements — distinct from generic investor visas.

Self-employment residence routes for independent professionals — freelance, contractor, or solo-trader residence. Not tied to remote employers.

Age-restricted (usually 18–30 or 18–35) working holiday or youth mobility schemes — typically 1–2 years, bilateral treaty basis.

Student visas and post-study work rights — many countries have direct pipelines from graduation to permanent residence.

Employer-sponsored or points-based skilled worker routes — blue card, skilled migrant, H-1B, employment permit.
