Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

2

What it takes.

Time
The embassy asks applicants to allow up to 10 working days for visa processing; later permit processing follows its own timetable.
Cost
Embassy processing fee is listed as US$154; work and residence charges are separate.
The hard part
Securing a certified sponsor’s detailed work letter and obtaining the post-entry work and residence permissions.

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

  1. 2027
    First residence permit

    0.25 years, not renewable.

Time away
Ten years of lawful, continuous residence before applying, good character and a lawful livelihood; the 2011 amendment raised the former five-year period to ten.
Two passports
Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.
  • Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
  • The embassy visa is an entry document for the stated work purpose, not residence; sponsor-backed work and residence permissions are needed to start the ten-year lawful-residence clock.
The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
