FASTEST PERMANENT RESIDENCY IN 2023 | AS LITTLE AS 6 MONTHS
This article talks about countries where foreign nationals can settle and get their permanent residency permits quickly. If your goal for migration is to settle in the country you’re moving to, it is very important to know how easy or fast it can take you to settle in that country permanently.
The process of obtaining permanent residency on a work visa can vary depending on the country and the individual circumstances of the applicants. Below are countries well-known to have relatively fast processes for obtaining permanent residency on a work visa.
Canada
Canada has one of the easiest pathways to settle in the country. One can move down to Canada on a permanent residency pathway through the Express Entry program or the Provincial Nomination program. Additionally, Canada has several other pathways you can explore as a skilled worker to gain permanent residency.
From February 2023, carers can apply for permanent residency in Canada after working in the country for 2 years.
Australia
Australia also has reputation for having an easy pathway to permanent residency in the country. Just like Canada, Australia also has its way of moving down to the country as a permanent resident. This includes pathways such as Subclass 190 and Subclass 189.
Additionally, Australia also has different work visas that lead to permanent residency in the country with a time frame of a year or two. Australia has one of the most work visas in the world for skilled migrants with one of the easiest pathways to settle.
The skilled nominated or independent visa can take 6-12months to get permanent residency
Germany
Germany is the easiest European country to gain permanent residency as a worker. The EU Blue Card allows highly skilled workers to apply for permanent residency in 33 months. However, one can also apply in as little as 21 months.
The EU Blue Card can be applied for in Germany by people who have a college degree, professional experience, and a minimum salary of at least €56,400 annually. Additionally, it is much easier to obtain if your occupation is under the shortage occupation list in the country.
Shortage occupations are occupations with few workers in the country. As of 2023, individuals with jobs listed under shortage occupations can get this card earning as low as €3,796 gross or more per month. This equates to €45,552 per year.
Difference between a Work Visa & EU Blue Card
- Work visas need a renewal on a job change, however, EU Blue Card does not require renewal after changing jobs
- Also, on the EU Blue Card, you can apply for permanent residency just after 33 months instead of the 60 months on the work visa
Aside from that, if you get a B1 language certificate you can get your permanent residency in as little as 21 months in Germany.
New Zealand
New Zealand is coming up among countries with easy and quick permanent residency. Currently, you can get your permanent residency in New Zealand using different launched pathways. New Zealand also has a pathway through which one can move to the country as a permanent resident (Straight-to-Resident Visa).
On this Straight-to-Resident, if your occupation is on Tier 1 of the Green List (shortage occupations), you can apply for this visa after getting a job offer in the country.
Additionally, there is a work-to-residence where one can apply for permanent residency after working in the country for 1 year.
Aside from that, New Zealand has pathways for skilled migrants to gain permanent residency fast.
Ireland
The sole English-speaking nation in the European Union is Ireland. It is also quite easier and fast to settle in the country as a permanent resident. You can do this after as little as 2 years. One can do this through the Critical skilled employment permit.
Critical skill employment is a listing of Ireland’s shortage of occupations. Occupations under this category permit individuals to apply for Ban 4 after 2 years. This Ban 4 almost has the same benefits as permanent residency. Additionally, from this Ban 4, one can apply for permanent residency quickly and easier.
Bear in mind that these requirements do change over time. It is advised that you check the updates on these requirements to stay up-to-date
