Frequently asked questions
What is a comparison route guide?+
A route guide focuses on one migration goal — for example digital nomad visas, post-study work, or the EU Blue Card — and compares every country that offers it in one place. Instead of reading ten separate government websites, you get a single page with all the key differences highlighted.
How are these guides researched?+
Each guide is built from individually-sourced facts, each linked to a primary government website, with a last-reviewed date. They are editorial comparisons to help you understand your options — not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with the relevant government authority before you apply.
How is a route guide different from reading a single country’s visa page?+
A single country page tells you how to apply for one specific visa. A route guide answers ‘which country is better for my situation’ by comparing salary thresholds, processing times, settlement timelines, and family rights across multiple destinations simultaneously. Use route guides when you haven’t decided where to go yet.
