Each market's full entry rules are on its country deep-dive.

See the full entry rules per market →

Each deep-dive carries the extension, the annual cap and the long-stay route, not just the days on arrival.

The per-market deep-dives — 13 tabs of cost, visa, tax, safety and sub-national ratio for one country — are behind the Pro gate. Everything on this page is not.
