Most of those traveling abroad emigrate in order to obtain permanent residence status. What it is, we talked about in one of our previous articles. Today we will talk about where to go for permanent residence, which countries offer the most attractive conditions for obtaining this status, and where it is easiest for our compatriots to settle.

What are the criteria for choosing a country for moving to permanent residence? Of course, we all want to move to a developed country that guarantees us security, social benefits and an acceptable level of taxes.

However, the real situation is not so rosy. The doors of not all countries are wide open for migrants. Most developed countries have an extremely tough migration policy, and they can rightly be called inaccessible for relocation, such as France, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, etc. Their governments impose serious restrictions, which are extremely difficult to overcome.

Where is it easier to get permanent residence?

Therefore, first of all, it is worth paying attention to the proposals of the states where there are special programs for immigrants. Moving to permanent residence there is many times easier and cheaper.

  • In Europe, the easiest way to arrange a move to permanent residence in Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Malta, Cyprus.
  • Attractive, but more stringent conditions are offered by Switzerland, Great Britain, Austria.
  • If you consider options outside Europe, then the Caribbean countries are loyal to migrants: Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada.

If we talk about simplicity, then according to this criterion, Hungary is the leader in Europe. By investing 300 thousand euros (plus 60 thousand euros for expenses), you will receive permanent residence for all family members within 6 months.
