Residence, by passport.

The route in for a foreign national, by passport: on arrival, a standard permit, an investor or elective route, or a quota permit, with what each one asks.

What is measured

For each place on the board and each passport, which kind of route a foreign national meets: on arrival, a standard permit, an investor or elective route, or a quota permit. Each route is held with what it asks.

Where it comes from

The immigration rules published by each place. A route is described as the published rule reads and carries its source.

What it is not

A statement of a published rule. It is not immigration advice, and Patrician.ch does not act for a reader in an application.

Read the figures

Patrician.ch is an independent publisher of research. Not tax, legal, or immigration advice.

Income tax on the published 2026 rules. Social contributions, most deductions and treaties are not modeled. Figures are for a non-US single filer. Wealth tax, an exit and your passports are added when you run the engine on your own numbers. Not advice. Residence rules change often. Verify before acting.
