Visa & Immigration Pathways
— In short
Most international moves hinge on getting the right visa. We help you map which pathway fits your situation — work, retirement, investment, family or remote work — and coordinate regulated immigration advisers in your destination country.
Common visa pathways
- Skilled work visas
Employer-sponsored routes for professionals — UK Skilled Worker, EU Blue Card, US H-1B and equivalents.
- Digital nomad visas
Remote-work residency for location-independent earners in 30+ countries.
- Retirement & passive income
Income-based residency such as Portugal's D7 and Latin American pensionado routes.
- Investor & golden visas
Residency by investment programmes — what remains after recent EU restrictions.
- Family reunification
Spouse, partner and dependent visas to join family already abroad.
- Permanent residency
Routes from temporary status to long-term settlement and citizenship.
How we work with regulated advisers
Relocation Assist does not provide regulated immigration advice. Our role is to scope your situation, identify the right pathway and connect you with qualified regulated immigration advisers in the destination country. We then coordinate documents, deadlines and applications on your behalf.
