Ten questions. We score every country we cover against your income, your capital, your age, whether you need to work locally, and whether renewing forever is enough or you need a route that ends in permanent residence.

01
Pick the one that matters most. This decides which routes we even look at.
02
Not the visa length. Your actual plan. This is a site about staying, so it changes the whole ranking.
03
Before tax, and documented. Several countries test income rather than savings.
04
Money you will not need for day to day living.
05
Retirement routes start at 50 or 55. A few routes discount under-35s.
06
Dependant rules vary more than any other field on this site.
07
Many long-stay routes let you live there but forbid local work. This is the trap most people find out about in year two.
08
Some routes force a purchase on top of the deposit. Malaysia MM2H is the clearest example.
09
Most Asian long-stay routes renew indefinitely and never convert. This is the question that changes the answer most.
10
Some routes take three weeks. Others take six months.
