Last reviewed:
Hellenic Republic
Greece should be added because it combines standard work and EU Blue Card routes with high-interest residence categories for remote workers, financially independent people and investors. The system is document-heavy, so the user value is in translating official Ministry guidance into plain planning checklists.

Republic of Indonesia
Indonesia regulates foreign stay through the Directorate General of Immigration, now under the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, with most applications filed via the official e-visa portal. The headline routes are the employer-sponsored Work KITAS, the Investor KITAS for PT PMA company stakeholders, the multi-year Golden Visa and Second Home Visa for self-funded residents, and the KITAP permanent-stay permit. Work-permit approvals also involve the Ministry of Manpower.
