Choose the specific destination before researching entry, study, work or residence. Europe is not a single immigration jurisdiction.
European Union starting point
The EU’s immigration information page links to resources on immigration rights and national arrangements. Use it as an entry point, then check the destination country’s own immigration authority.
Keep the questions separate
- Which country will you enter, and where will you live?
- What is the purpose and intended length of stay?
- Which authority handles a visa, residence or work permission?
- What current rules apply to your nationality and circumstances?
This page uses an EU resource as a starting point; it does not cover all European countries or assume shared work rights. For the UK, use our separate UK guide.
