Verified immigration information
Understand the rules.
Then choose a path.
Immigration rules change on schedules that differ by country, and a figure without a date attached is the most common way they quietly become wrong. Every number here states the period it applies to and links to the government page it came from.
Countries with deep coverage
These 24 records set out the process in order, the current figures with their applicability periods, what commonly blocks an application, and any points where official sources disagree with each other.
What this site does that the sources themselves do not
Every fact here comes from a government authority, and those authorities are the only reliable place to get it. But an authority documents its own rules and nothing else — it will not tell you when its figure was set, that another arm of the same government states a different number, or how its threshold compares with the country next door. Three things are added on top of the sources, and they are the whole of what this site claims to be.
Every figure carries the period it applies to
Salary thresholds and funds requirements are revised on schedules that differ by country: annually in Denmark and Germany, twice a year in the Netherlands, on a fixed future date in Singapore, and as a moving percentage of the national median in Sweden. A number copied without its period is the most common way immigration information becomes quietly wrong. Where a source's own table has already expired — Estonia's published salary coefficients cover a window that closed in March 2025 — that is stated on the page rather than passed off as current.
Where official sources disagree, both are published
Germany is the clearest case found so far. The Federal Employment Agency states the EU Blue Card salary thresholds as €50,700 and €45,934.20 and labels them 2026 figures. The Federal Foreign Office's own FAQ states €56,400 and €43,992, with no year attached. The two arms of the same government also give different timelines to a settlement permit. This site uses the dated federal-agency figures and shows the disagreement rather than quietly picking a winner, because a reader deciding on this needs to know the question is open.
The same question, answered side by side
No authority publishes a comparison, so the cross-country comparison assembles one from the reviewed records: whether an employer has to act before you can apply, what each salary threshold is and when it was set, how long a first permit runs, and how the four points systems differ. Nothing is averaged, scored or ranked — the rows are the authorities' own statements, placed next to each other.
