Flow-based rankings
Long-stay and work visa interest rankings
This ranking helps you spot which of the 110 cities more often show up as long-stay or work-visa destinations. Scores only compare cities inside this list; they do not show visa difficulty or approval odds.
Treat this as directional research. Some city scores are estimated from country or regional data. Visa rules change, so check current government sources, your employer, or a qualified adviser before making plans.
Long-stay and work visa interest rankings
Scoring: long-stay, work-visa, and related migration signals are converted into a 1–100 relative score. A higher score means stronger interest within this list; it is not live policy, an official ranking, or a visa success rate.
Symbol key (national inputs for this composite)
- * — Direct official national statistics for that country (details in site data).

Scores compare relative interest within these 110 cities only. Some cities use country or regional data as an estimate, so this is not an official ranking, live policy tracker, or personal visa advice.
