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
Ask the issuing authority for its current processing time.
Cost
Check the issuing authority's current fee schedule before filing.
The hard part
Employer approval, security and entry permission, and separate residence processing are all material gates.

The road past the first permit.

Any permanent residence or citizenship requires a separate application under its own rules.

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.
