Last reviewed:
Czech Republic
Czechia earns a place because Prague and Brno are major tech and services hubs, and the Employee Card gives non-EU workers a combined long-term residence and work route. The official foreigner portal also separates Employee Card, EU Blue Card, business, study and family routes in a way that is easy to turn into step-by-step guides.

Republic of Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago administers immigration through the Immigration Division of the Ministry of Homeland Security, which also issues work permits. Permanent residence comes through traditional grounds - five years of continuous residence, marriage to a citizen or resident, or sponsorship - and skilled CARICOM nationals can work using a CARICOM Skills Certificate. There is no citizenship-by-investment or residence-by-investment programme.
