13 countries of the world ideal for emigration

“It’s good where we are not,” skeptics tirelessly repeat, confident that happiness beyond the seven seas is someone’s cunning advertising ploy. “Where you were born, you came in handy,” echo ardent patriots, but even with all the love for your homeland, sometimes you really want to pack your bags and go to a place where everything is different: other people, customs, social standards and way of life in general. Feel like not a tourist, but a local, start your personal history from scratch, and as it grows together, you will stay forever. If thoughts about moving haunt you, and there are still no specifics about the location, it won’t hurt to study the list of countries that are most hospitable to immigrants.

13. Costa Rica

Russians are increasingly turning their attention to sultry South American states. For example, to Costa Rica with its luxurious nature, colonial architecture and exemplary beaches. A visa is not required for entry for up to 90 days, and the rules for obtaining a residence permit are quite transparent.

The easiest and, perhaps, most pleasant way is to be legally married to a citizen of Costa Rica. Having received a confirming extract from the state register, you can acquire the status of a temporary resident with the possibility of employment, and after 3 years of marriage - the right of permanent residence.

Pensioners are also welcome in the country, but they can’t work here, so pension payments or savings must be substantial: they will have to exchange 30,000-50,000 RUB monthly for local colonies. Prices on the page are for June 2021.

If funds allow, it is worth purchasing Costa Rican housing costing from 160,000 USD - but not for personal use, but for subsequent sale or rental. The same amount can be invested in business projects while staying in the country for at least 6 months a year, then after 3 years you will be given citizenship. Finally, foreigners can become full-fledged Costa Ricans if they receive at least 1,000 USD monthly into their bank account (or already have 60,000 USD in their account). For married couples, this amount doubles, for each child - another 500 USD, mandatory stay in the country - from 4 months a year, a request for citizenship is submitted after 3 years.

Moving to another country for permanent residence. Which one should you choose and why?

Quite a large number of our compatriots one day think about the idea of how to leave Russia.
There are countless reasons for this. From dissatisfaction with the standard of living to ideological differences. It doesn't really matter. The important thing is that you have decided to go for permanent residence to another country and thanks to this article you will understand where to move to live, which countries need to be considered and which are better to overlook, and what is needed in order to receive the coveted document. There are several criteria that are key in choosing a country. These include standard of living, social benefits, security guarantees, high wages and moderate taxes. Also, one of the main questions is where to go to live from Russia without money. But not all countries that meet these criteria are ready to accept migrants. A fairly large number of developed countries that meet all or most of the criteria listed above have a very tough position towards migrants. And although they are the best countries to live in according to most people, they cannot be called the best countries to emigrate. I don’t want to call these countries completely inaccessible, but in 95% of cases you will not be able to move there without compelling arguments, such as, for example, studying, purchasing real estate, marrying a resident of this state. These are countries such as the Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, etc. The restrictions associated with moving to these countries are almost insurmountable.

12. Dominican Republic

The lucky ones who cooed in the Dominican Republic on their honeymoon, conquered its obstinate waves, and traveled far and wide through national parks, risk leaving their hearts there. To join him with your whole body, you will have to return to Russia and apply for a migration card at the embassy, collecting a package of documents (application form, certificate of passing a medical examination, certificate of no criminal record, etc.) and paying a fee of 15,000 RUB.

The list of ways to obtain a residence permit includes large investments in the Dominican economy, concluding an official employment contract with a local employer and, of course, marrying a Dominican. In addition, you can apply for a rentier visa, which allows individuals with a confirmed income of 2,000 USD per month to live comfortably and not work.

When all the formalities at home have been settled, it’s time to proceed to the next stage - obtaining a residence permit upon arrival in the Dominican Republic. It is necessary to collect new documents, including letters of guarantee from residents of the Republic, and pay a new fee in the equivalent of 23,000 RUB. The final stage is registration of permanent residence, which must be renewed every 2 years.

11. Argentina

Argentina is one of the most prosperous countries in South America: the economy is booming, the crime rate is low, and the locals are friendly to guests. You don't even need a visa to perfect your tango moves and have fun at the never-ending holidays, but moving there requires some effort.

Persons from 20 to 60 years of age with secondary or higher education and a permanent income, without a criminal record or dangerous infectious diseases, can emigrate.

Residence permits are issued to relatives of Argentines and their newly-made spouses, students of local universities (first you need to apply for a long-term student visa in Russia), as well as foreigners officially employed in the country (but first - a work visa and 3 years of work in conditions of fierce competition, since the majority of Argentines live below the poverty line and desperately compete for vacancies).

The rentier program is suitable for visitors with a monthly income of 1200 USD (and all this is interest on deposits in foreign banks). Argentina willingly accepts investments from 100,000 USD, and if there is no money, you can apply for refugee status - if there is evidence of religious, political or other persecution in your homeland.

TOP – 10 European countries for emigration

European countries favorable for relocation:

Spain is one of the ten countries in the world best suited for permanent residence and emigration from Russia and Ukraine. The main requirement for obtaining a residence permit is financial security. An automatic Golden Visa (residence permit without the right to work) is issued when purchasing real estate from 500,000 euros. It can also be obtained without this requirement by proving that the applicant has sufficient income in his home country and will not work in Spain. Many Russians moved to live in Spain in the area of Alicante and Torrevieja.
Germany is the easiest country to move to for education. After graduation, you can stay to look for work. But the process of obtaining a residence permit may take 3-6 months.
Portugal provides the opportunity to obtain a Golden Visa (residence permit) when purchasing any real estate worth 500,000 euros. In undeveloped economic regions of the country, as well as if major repairs are required for buildings that are more than 30 years old, this amount can be reduced to 350,000 euros. After 5 years, you can obtain permanent residence, and after another 1 year, citizenship of this country, which is also part of the EU.
Montenegro, in which a residence permit is issued upon the purchase of any real estate. After another 5 years, you can obtain permanent residence, and then after the same period, citizenship of the country. Please note that Montenegro is not part of the EU and the Schengen area. Many people in the country speak Russian, and there are also many emigrants from the countries of the former USSR.
Cyprus provides the opportunity to obtain a residence permit through investment and the purchase of real estate. There is also the opportunity to get a job; many IT companies from Russia are located in Cyprus. A lot of Russians live on this island, which helps with relocation and further assimilation.
Malta offers the opportunity to obtain a residence permit for investment and purchase of real estate. The country is part of the EU, has a good climate and calm conditions for life on the island.
Italy issues citizenship 2 years after marriage to a resident of this country. Italy recognizes dual citizenship with Russia. Many women who marry Italians take advantage of this opportunity. In case of divorce, after 2 years of legal marriage and receipt of an Italian passport, citizenship is retained.
Bulgaria issues a long-term visa category D and residence permit when purchasing real estate. Prices in the country are low. 800-1000 euros is enough for a month. The Bulgarian language is similar to Russian. It's not difficult to learn. Residence permits can be obtained by pensioners who receive a sufficient pension in their country.
Romania is an EU country. Here, it is easiest to obtain a residence permit and citizenship by right of origin for those citizens whose descendants lived in the territory of the former Bukovina and Bessarabia. Now these lands are part of Ukraine and Moldova. Thus, many residents of the countries of the former USSR could have such relatives.
Sweden has a high standard of living, but emigrating there is not easy. You can marry a Swedish citizen or find a job. Paperwork takes a long time. But Sweden has high salaries, decent healthcare and good education.

programs to improve the lives of emigrants;
good climate.

10. Uruguay

Uruguay is calm, comfortable and picturesque: the Atlantic coast east of Montevideo, colorful settlements in the north, nature reserves and farmland in the center. Plus excellent ecology, high-quality medicine, free education, inexpensive products - a complete pastoral idyll. It is precisely this that attracts pensioners with a permanent income of 1,500 USD per month and purchased housing in the country costing from 100,000 USD.

Younger immigrants entering under the rentier program need to pay 10,000 USD and have an income of 500 USD per month.

Official employment is also an option, but salaries in Uruguay are not that great: engineers and programmers receive an average of 800 USD per month. Investors can purchase securities from the state for 100,000 USD or real estate for 65,000 USD, entrepreneurs can start a business: register, open a bank account, obtain medical insurance and apply for an annual residence permit, and after 3 years of successful work - for permanent residence. But there is a nuance with marriage: marrying a Uruguayan woman is easier than marrying a Uruguayan man - in the event of a divorce, all the property goes to the women, so men are in no hurry to get married.

Belarus

Minsk
The Republic of Belarus is a state in Eastern Europe, one of the former Soviet republics. Belarus is home to almost 9.5 million people and its area is 207,599 square kilometers. We know a lot about our neighbor and laugh with pleasure at jokes about “Batka” and potatoes. Meanwhile, many consider Minsk a promising city for living and working.

High level of security.
Well-functioning public transport. No traffic jams.

9. Thailand

From South America to Asia. Thailand is increasingly becoming a winter home for Russians: the temptation to escape the cold for sun, sand and non-stop fun is too great. Those who travel for a month do not need a visa, and then many cunning people pull off tricks - border run (travel to any neighboring country and return on the same day) and visa run (travel abroad for a day or more, registration of a Thai visas - and vice versa).

But such rides are not endless: border runners are prohibited from entering once every 4 years, visa-run is allowed no more than 3 times a year.

Tai only needs investors who are very wealthy: to obtain an annual residence permit, you will have to invest from 310,000 USD in securities. An alternative is to buy a home worth 200,000 USD (real estate worth 500,000 USD automatically entitles you to permanent residence).

Foreigners who are officially employed and pay income tax on time receive a residence permit after 3 years, students of local universities - after crediting 1,500 USD to the treasury, pensioners with an amount of over 25,000 USD in a Thai bank - after paying 1,100 USD. Parents of children enrolled in local schools and kindergartens are issued special family visas for 1 year with the right to extension.

Spain

This country attracts many people with its beautiful landscapes and excellent beaches. In addition, the residents of Spain are very loyal to those Russians who came here for permanent residence.

The easiest way to obtain a residence permit here is to purchase a house and apartment for no less than 250 thousand euros. Considering that real estate can be purchased remotely, many of our wealthy compatriots are seeking permanent residence in Spain from Russia. But you should be prepared for one nuance. The first permit is issued for a period of only one year. Next, the homeowner has the right to reapply, after which he will be allowed to live in the country for another two years. The third period will be three years. As a result, after six years the person is eligible to apply for permanent residence.

Anyone who decides to move to Spain for permanent residence from Russia must meet two main requirements put forward by this country:

have no criminal record for serious crimes;
have sufficient funds for living, which must be confirmed by a certificate from the bank.

In addition to the traditional reasons for moving to a country in Spain, you can also stay for permanent residence because of social settlement. This is provided for by Spanish legislation in relation to illegal immigrants. Even without documents giving permission to stay in the country, it is possible to obtain resident status:

upon confirmation of stay in the country for at least 3 years;
in the absence of a criminal record both on the territory of Russia and during the period of stay in a foreign country;
if you provide a contract with an employer for at least 1 year.

In addition to collecting this package of documents, the applicant will have an interview at the mayor's office. And for this you will need at least basic knowledge of the Spanish language, local traditions, confirmation of participation in the social life of society and friendly relations with local residents (neighbors). Upon successful completion of the interview, the applicant will be provided with a list of additional documents that must be submitted to the Estrangeria. The final decision will be made after checking all the papers. At the final stage, a person will need to register with the Social Insurance System, thereby confirming his official employment, and also receive a resident card, which will require fingerprints and a photo.

6. Spain

Europe is the closest, most understandable and convenient location for moving. A striking example of this is Spain, which is dizzying with architecture, nature, aromas of fresh delicacies and the rhythms of temperamental flamenco.

You can open Schengen and get to know Spain better: taste paella in Valencia, admire Gaudi’s masterpieces in Catalonia, attend a bullfight in Andalusia. And then get over it.

Foreigners who speak Spanish and are enrolled in paid departments of private universities certified by the Ministry of Education often apply for the coveted residence permit. Family ties are strong, too: marriages with hot locals or reunions with relatives are good reasons to stay. Official employment or registration of business activity, purchase of real estate for 500,000 EUR, passive income of 2000 EUR per month or confirmed refugee status are also suitable.

5. Germany

Germany is an example of stability and prosperity; class is felt in everything here: the hotels are neat, the beach and ski resorts are respectable, the attractions are elegant. It’s surprising why immigrants are so easily allowed here: despite the protests of the Germans, there are more and more programs every year.

The easiest places to move are for ethnic Germans, as well as Jews and members of their families.

Students at local universities are issued a residence permit for the entire duration of their studies and for another year to find a job. Official employment also becomes the basis: highly qualified professionals (engineers, IT specialists, doctors), who are willing to pay from 55,000 EUR per year, receive a 4-year Blue Card and the opportunity to take their spouses and children with them.

Under the family restoration program, a residence permit is issued for 3 years, after which you can apply for citizenship. Another interesting option is an Au Pair: a foreigner stays with a German family for a whole year, receives free food and 300 EUR per week, and in return helps around the house or with the children (language proficiency at level A1 is required).

For the first time in Berlin: where to go, what to try. Look:

Canada

Canada willingly opens its doors: its vast territories are not too densely populated, so there is plenty of space. There are also plenty of bonuses - from decent social security and low unemployment to the possibility of visa-free travel almost all over the world. And in the country itself there is enough beauty to last a lifetime.

The most popular way is family reunification: Canadian citizens have the right to invite relatives from Russia, providing them with financial support. But it is almost impossible for our compatriots to obtain refugee status.

Each province has its own immigration programs. Oil is produced in Alberta, therefore they accept specialists in this field, engineers, licensed plumbers and electricians, as well as graduates of local universities and farmers who are ready to invest in business from 500,000 USD.

In Quebec, forests and electric power enterprises welcome foreign students with 900 hours of professional training, investors with investments of 800,000 USD over the next 5 years, as well as professionals who want to officially work 30 hours a week. Agricultural Manitoba, where most Ukrainians and Russians live, attracts English-speaking foreigners (even without a higher education) with 2 years of full-time work experience and 10,000 USD in their account.

Germany

The easiest way to move to Germany from Russia for permanent residence is for those who have found work in this country. All German immigration programs are aimed at people with working professions, as well as highly qualified specialists.

If the candidate meets certain requirements, then he can apply for an EU Blue Card. This document serves as a residence permit granted to specialists coming from countries outside the European Union. The Blue Card gives you the right to work legally. If you have such permission, after 21 months a person can apply for permanent residence. To obtain a Blue Card you will need to have:

a document confirming receipt of a university education in the chosen specialty;
an employment contract, which will indicate an annual salary of at least 48,400 euros (for doctors, scientists, engineers and IT specialists - 37,752 euros);
approval received from the Federal Employment Agency.

It is worth noting that you can find a job in Germany without having a sufficient level of German. After all, for many companies located in the country, English is considered the main language.

In order to find work in the country, you can come here by obtaining a special visa. Information about the documents required for its issuance is constantly changing, so it is recommended to check it on the official website of the German Consulate.

1. USA

The American Dream is a symbol, the personification of a better life, success, prosperity and freedom. The reality is not so rosy: the United States has a high crime rate, impressive taxes, and expensive healthcare and education. But the impeccable quality of service and well-organized life in general, low unemployment, fair salaries, availability of housing, food and credit and other advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

And in general, what a pleasure it is to travel from the Grand Canyon to the City of Angels, from Niagara to Las Vegas and feel at home.

Many people think that winning a green card is easy, but it’s not: the chances are only 1 in 200, the collection of documents - from proof of wealth to diplomas and recommendations - has not been canceled. Up to 65 thousand people enter the United States annually on a work visa, but you can receive an invitation only if there are no candidates for the vacancy among Americans and hiring a foreigner will not affect their working conditions.

It’s even more difficult for investors: they need to invest from 1,000,000 USD into the US economy (or half as much if they create at least 10 jobs in underdeveloped regions). You can only count on refugee status if there is strong evidence of a threat, and the process of reunification with family sometimes lasts up to 12 years. But practice confirms: dreams - American and any other - tend to come true. US Citizenship Test. 6/10 correct answers = pass:

Emigration routes

How to leave Russia for permanent residence? To do this, first of all, you need to have some basis. It could be:

Reunion with family. In most countries, when marrying a foreigner, the procedure for obtaining a package of documents for permanent residence, and then citizenship, is significantly simplified. But it is worth keeping in mind that in some countries, for example, in Israel and Sweden, additional verification is carried out to exclude the fictitiousness of the marriage. Such a procedure lasts more than one year and will require constant confirmation of this status.
Availability of a sought-after profession, the receipt of which is confirmed by a diploma from an internationally recognized university. If you have high qualifications and knowledge of the language, a person’s options when choosing a country to live are practically unlimited.
Making monetary investments in the economy of the selected state. In some countries there is a simplified procedure for obtaining permanent residence. A similar benefit is provided to those who have contributed a certain amount of money to the state.
Buying a property. Such an acquisition opens up the path for the owner, as well as his family, to obtain permanent residence in the country of his choice.
Work Visa. Obtaining it is a complex procedure, during which documents are reviewed in several stages. In this way, as a rule, people emigrate to perform low-paid duties. This is possible in case of a shortage of own workers or when concluding a contract with a foreign company. Most often, states attract people to care for the elderly and sick. In such cases, the law provides for special procedures when issuing residence permits.
Opening your own business while creating jobs. In a number of countries, using this method, you can first obtain a work visa, and then obtain a residence permit and permanent residence.

Sports and cultural figures, as well as those with outstanding abilities, have special conditions when moving to another country.
