Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

2

What it takes.

Time
Government service target: 14 working days for the work permit; separate residence application target: 30 working days.
Cost
Unknown; current government fees and other costs are unverified.
The hard part
The employer's vacancy evidence and any professional clearance, followed by residence approval.
3

The road past the first permit.

No automatic citizenship is established by this permit. Any permanent-residence route is stated above only where the authority expressly lists it.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
