State of Israel
Israel's immigration and visa system is run by the Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA), part of the Ministry of Interior. The headline routes are the B/1 expert work visa (employer-sponsored, for high-skill roles), Aliyah under the Law of Return (which grants citizenship to Jews and eligible relatives, administered with the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration), the A/2 student visa, and family/marriage-based status. Non-Aliyah work and study visas are temporary and do not lead to permanent residence.

United Mexican States
Mexico broadens the atlas beyond Europe while staying highly useful for North American relocation, remote-work and family-route searches. The practical starting points are temporary residence, permanent residence, family unity and employer-sponsored work authorisation initiated through the Instituto Nacional de Migracion.
