How far the review has gone, by region

Every country has a record; what differs is how much of it has been read against the government source. Bars share one scale, so length is the number of records. Each country's own level is shown on its card below.

Deep coverageOceania

Australia

Australia's skilled migration is invitation-only: you submit an expression of interest through SkillSelect and can apply for the visa only after being invited. Includes the specific Competent English test scores and the passport exemptions.

Deep coverageEurope

Austria

Austria's two Red-White-Red Card points routes: Very Highly Qualified Workers needs 70 of 100 points, Skilled Workers in Shortage Occupations needs 55 of 90. The two scales, weightings and age bands are all different.

Deep coverageEurope

Belgium

Belgium's single permit combines work authorisation and residence in one document. The structural point is that regulating foreign workers passed to the Regions with the Sixth State Reform, so conditions such as salary thresholds are set separately by Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels rather than federally.

Deep coverageAmericas

Canada

Canada's three federal economic immigration routes managed through Express Entry, with each program's minimum requirements, language and funds rules, and the crucial difference between meeting the minimums and receiving an invitation.

Deep coverageEurope

Croatia

Croatia's EU Blue Card is a single stay-and-work permit. The most practically useful distinction is what happens when you change employer: within the first two years you must apply again, after two years you only notify within eight days.

Deep coverageEurope

Czechia

Czechia's two long-term residence cards: the Employee Card, which sets no education or salary threshold and covers all kinds of employment, and the EU Blue Card, which requires at least three years of higher education and 1.5 times the average gross annual salary. Includes durations, the fee, and the duty to report a change of employer.

Deep coverageEurope

Denmark

Denmark's Pay Limit Scheme work permit, with the annual salary threshold in force, the Danish bank account requirement, the rule that employment terms may not be inferior to the professional field's standards, and the permit length with its automatic job-seeking extension.

Deep coverageEurope

Estonia

Estonia's residence permit for employment. The salary threshold is the national average gross salary multiplied by a coefficient, so the euro amounts change every year; the record also covers the employer's Unemployment Insurance Fund permit, the five-year permit, and the Estonian language requirement that applies after five years of residence.

Deep coverageEurope

France

France funnels medium- and long-term work residence for non-European nationals into one multi-year talent card with a family of sub-cards. They share an application flow, a EUR 350 fee and the talent-famille route for a spouse and minor children, but their thresholds differ enormously: EUR 1,306.91 per month for the artistic and cultural professions, EUR 39,582 for the qualified employee card, EUR 41,386.48 for the medical and pharmacy professions, EUR 59,373 for the EU Blue Card and EUR 67,212.60 for a corporate legal representative. Choosing a card is really choosing a threshold, not a name.

Deep coverageEurope

Germany

Germany's work and residence routes for third-country professionals, with reviewed overviews of the EU Blue Card, the qualified-professional work visa and the opportunity card, plus the recognition procedure and the thresholds that apply in 2026.

Deep coverageEurope

Hungary

Hungary splits work residence for third-country nationals into two routes that differ sharply. The Hungarian Card is for people with specified professional qualifications — plus sportspeople, coaches, performers and film workers — runs up to three years, is extendable by three more, and lets a spouse and children join. The residence permit for the purpose of employment is the guest worker route, open only to nationals of the countries in Annex 1 of the relevant government decree — currently Georgia, Armenia and the Philippines — capped at two years and three in total, with no change of purpose in-country, no family reunification and no national residence card. Choosing the wrong one is not a few weeks' delay; it is a different life arrangement.

Deep coverageEurope

Iceland

Iceland's law changed on 8 July 2026: work permit processing moved from the Directorate of Labour to the Directorate of Immigration, post-study job seeking was cut from three years to 18 months, and students' family reunification rights and working hours were tightened at the same time.

Deep coverageEurope

Ireland

Ireland's Critical Skills Employment Permit route, with its three remuneration thresholds and the qualification condition attached to each, the two-year job offer, the exemption from the labour market needs test, and the direct route to Stamp 4 when the permit expires.

Deep coverageAsia

Japan

Japan defines what you may do by status of residence; the one most professionals use is Engineer, Specialist in Humanities and International Services. Periods of stay are five years, three years, one year or three months, and the documents required depend on the employer's category. A separate points system exists for highly skilled professionals.

Deep coverageEurope

Latvia

Employing a third-country national in Latvia starts with the employer, who carries full responsibility for the employment, the stay and any removal costs. The vacancy must sit unfilled at the State Employment Agency for at least ten working days, and short-term and long-term employment follow two different routes.

Deep coverageEurope

Luxembourg

Luxembourg's employment routes: an authorisation to stay must be obtained before entering, and the first permit runs a maximum of one year restricted to a single profession and a single sector, opening up only on renewal. The EU Blue Card is exempt from the labour market test but carries a salary threshold set by Grand-Ducal regulation.

Deep coverageEurope

Malta

Malta's single permit is applied for by the employer; the applicant cannot submit it themselves. The permit is tied to one employer and one designation, and a change to either voids it immediately, whatever validity date the document shows.

Deep coverageEurope

Netherlands

The Netherlands' highly skilled migrant residence permit, with the IND recognised-sponsor requirement, the age-banded gross monthly salary thresholds and the six-month windows they apply to, and the reduced criterion for recent graduates.

Deep coverageOceania

New Zealand

New Zealand's six-point Skilled Migrant Category residence route and the Accredited Employer Work Visa, with where points come from, the age-55 limit, the accredited-employer requirement, and how this differs from hundred-point systems.

Deep coverageAsia

Singapore

Singapore's two-stage Employment Pass assessment: first the qualifying salary, which rises with age and differs by sector, then the COMPASS points framework. Includes the higher thresholds taking effect in 2027 and the two COMPASS criteria scored on the employer rather than the applicant.

Deep coverageEurope

Sweden

Sweden's work permit route. Since June 2026 the salary requirement is a percentage of the national median salary rather than a fixed figure, so it moves with the median; the page also covers the employer's insurance obligations, the collective-agreement benchmark, and the two-year maximum permit.

Deep coverageEurope

Switzerland

Switzerland's admission of non-EU/EFTA nationals for employment: open only to the highly qualified, and conditional on the employer proving no suitable candidate could be found in Switzerland or the EU/EFTA. Admission is quota-limited and pay and terms must match regional and sector norms.

Deep coverageEurope

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom's sponsor-led skilled work routes, with the salary thresholds in force, the going-rate rule, the B2 English requirement, and the five-year timeline to settlement.

Deep coverageAmericas

United States

The three routes under US employment-based second preference (EB-2): advanced degree professionals, exceptional ability, and the National Interest Waiver, which allows self-petition without an employer, together with its three-prong test.
