Destinations

21 destinations,
each one sourced.

A destination appears here once its work permits have been read off the issuing authority's own pages. The routes carry their salary floors with the year they belong to, and their conditions with them.

“Free movement is not a checkbox. Norway and Iceland are EEA, Switzerland is neither, and each answer differs.”

Group 01

European Union

If you already hold an EU qualification and EU free movement, no work permit is involved here. The recognition branch may still have plenty to say.

Group 02

EEA and EFTA

Norway and Iceland are in the European Economic Area but not in the Union. Switzerland is in neither, and its nationals still move freely, on one bilateral agreement instead. Three different answers under one heading, which is why we never model it as a single flag.

Group 03

Outside the EU and EEA

Here everyone needs authorisation, including EU citizens. Points-based systems appear in this group, and we explain their factors without ever scoring you.

What a destination page is not

We do not publish a page per country and profession just because the combination exists. A page with nothing specific and verifiable behind it is a trap for the person reading it, and we would rather have fewer pages than that.

◑

What gets a destination added

Its permits read from the issuing authority, its academic comparability body identified, and at least one profession whose recognition branch we can answer end to end. Until all three hold, the destination stays out of the planner.

Which of these is yours?

The planner only offers combinations it can answer, so anything it shows you is real.
