What you cannot do is skip the requirement that takes its place. Germany wants at least two years of vocational training and a salary from $52,000 (45,630 euros) a year, Japan wants two exams, Canada wants hours in a skilled trade, the US hands out a fixed number of visas, and Singapore looks at your passport. https://murblz.com/en/blog/vietnam-work-permithttps://murblz.com/en/blog/vietnam-work-permitThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA foreigner gets a Vietnamese work permit through an employer in Vietnam, not alone. The employer files with the provincial people's committee, the decision comes within 10 working days of a complete file, and the permit lasts up to 2 years, with one extension of up to 2 years. Remote work for a company abroad sits outside this system: Vietnam has no permit and no visa for it, and the e-visa runs up to 90 days with no residence card. A stay measured in years takes a permit, a company with real capital or a family tie. https://murblz.com/en/blog/travel-ban-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/travel-ban-2026Thu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe travel ban in 2026 is Proclamation 10998, in force since January 1, 2026: nationals of 39 countries face limits on new US visas. Nineteen countries are under a full suspension, which also stops L-1 transfers. Another 19 are under a partial one, which keeps L-1 open with a shorter visa. Turkmenistan loses only immigrant visas, the green card route from abroad. A visa that was valid on January 1, 2026 is not revoked by the proclamation. We read the official text and checked for amendments on November 5, 2026: the country lists have not changed. https://murblz.com/en/blog/send-money-out-of-moroccohttps://murblz.com/en/blog/send-money-out-of-moroccoThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamMorocco has no single limit on money leaving the country. The 2026 General Instruction on Foreign Exchange Operations, in force since January 1, works as a list: if your transfer fits a named purpose, your bank sends it without asking the foreign exchange office, the Office des Changes. If it fits none, you need that office's approval first. https://murblz.com/en/blog/retiring-from-the-uaehttps://murblz.com/en/blog/retiring-from-the-uaeThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe UAE pays foreign workers no pension. When the job ends you collect a one-off gratuity, and cancelling your residence permit starts a clock of 30 to 180 days. Three decisions follow, and their order sets the cost: whether you can stay on a retirement permit, where Dubai and the federal authority apply different age rules; whether a Thai retirement visa goes in before cancellation closes the UAE route; and how many days you spend in the next country in the year the gratuity falls due, which can decide its tax. https://murblz.com/en/blog/pesel-numberhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/pesel-numberThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA PESEL number, Poland's personal ID number, comes to adult foreigners by two main routes. Register an address for a stay of more than 30 days and the gmina, the local municipal office, requests the number automatically. If you cannot register but a law requires you to hold one, you apply at any gmina. Both routes are free. Nobody gets a number just in case: the form makes you cite the provision that obliges you to have it. https://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-president-resignshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-president-resignsThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThree days were enough to shake a bank, the Central Bank and the presidency of Paraguay at once. On 2 November 2026 the Central Bank of Paraguay placed ueno bank into resolution and froze its deposits. On 3 November the Central Bank's governor, Carlos Carvallo, who had run ueno bank until August 2023, resigned. On 5 November President Santiago Peña announced his resignation in a recorded message. For depositors, the news that matters most came the same Thursday: payment of the guarantee advance began. https://murblz.com/en/blog/italy-exit-taxhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/italy-exit-taxThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamFor years Italy has courted wealthy foreigners with a flat tax. Now it is working out what to charge them on the way out. The draft 2027 budget proposes 26% on gains that do not exist yet: the portfolio is unsold, no cash has arrived, but leaving counts as a sale. For long-term residents with a large portfolio, moving abroad could become the most expensive transaction of their lives, and one with no buyer. https://murblz.com/en/blog/irish-dual-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/irish-dual-citizenshipThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIrish dual citizenship is open on every route: Ireland never asks you to give up your first passport. The 1956 citizenship act has no renunciation condition, and the declaration new citizens make says nothing about any other passport. The real split runs between the two main routes. A naturalisation certificate is a grant the Minister for Justice can revoke, including over a citizenship you take later. An entry in the Foreign Births Register is a record of descent, which can be changed or deleted only if it was wrong. https://murblz.com/en/blog/immigration-age-limits-by-countryhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/immigration-age-limits-by-countryThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamAustralia and New Zealand write a hard age limit for skilled migrants into their rules: points-tested visas stop at 45 in Australia, skilled residence at 56 in New Zealand. Canada and Germany set no limit but make age costly. Canada takes away points; Germany, on a first skilled worker permit from 45, wants a salary from $63,000 (55,770 euros) a year or proven pension savings. Past 50, your options are New Zealand, Canada, Germany and Australia's 482 and 858 visas. https://murblz.com/en/blog/dual-citizenship-turkeyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/dual-citizenship-turkeyThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamTurkey allows dual citizenship and asks for no permission to take a second passport. What it asks for is notice: a Turkish citizen who gains another nationality reports it on form Vat-12, and the population register receives a note. Permission enters the story only when someone wants out of Turkish citizenship altogether. https://murblz.com/en/blog/dual-citizenship-spainhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/dual-citizenship-spainThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamSpain allows dual citizenship for a short list of groups and requires everyone else who naturalizes at 14 or older to renounce their old nationality in a sentence at the oath. Article 23 of the Civil Code spares nationals of Ibero-American countries (the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries of Latin America, Puerto Rico included), Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea and Portugal, along with Sephardic Jews originating from Spain. A treaty in force since April 1, 2022 adds French citizens. A British spouse, an American retiree and an Indian engineer all make the declaration. https://murblz.com/en/blog/dual-citizenship-argentinahttps://murblz.com/en/blog/dual-citizenship-argentinaThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamArgentina allows dual citizenship. You can swear the oath, collect an Argentine passport and keep the one you arrived with, because Law 346, the citizenship statute that dates from 1869, never asks you to give anything up. The surprises come later, at the border, where a foreign passport does not automatically make you a foreigner. Live in Argentina and you need Argentine documents to leave. Live abroad on a passport from a country with no dual nationality treaty and you can come in on it alone, then leave on it, as long as you stay no more than 180 days in a row. https://murblz.com/en/blog/belarus-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/belarus-citizenshipThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA foreigner can apply for Belarus citizenship after five continuous years on a permanent residence permit, with a language test, proof of income and the end of any other citizenship. The decision is the President's. Government duties from the residence application to the passport come to $170 (495 Belarusian roubles). Neither investment nor marriage grants the passport by itself. The real shortcut is registration: up to two months of review for people with roots in Belarus from before November 12, 1991, and for graduates of Belarusian universities with three years of work there. https://murblz.com/en/blog/argentina-cuit-for-non-residentshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/argentina-cuit-for-non-residentsThu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamArgentina stopped issuing the CDI to individuals on March 2, 2026. If you live abroad and a bank, a registry or your Argentine company asks for a tax number, the answer is now a CUIT, filed without a trip by a representative with an address in Argentina. ARCA, the national tax agency formerly called AFIP, charges nothing for the number, so your costs are the notary, the apostille, the translation and the representative. The real risk is not the two-page form but what you allow that representative to do in your name. https://murblz.com/en/blog/google-play-developer-accounthttps://murblz.com/en/blog/google-play-developer-accountWed, 04 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA developer outside the United States gets a Google Play developer account for a company by forming a US limited liability company (LLC), obtaining its D-U-N-S number and opening an organisation account.

The App Store then names the company, not the developer, as the seller. https://murblz.com/en/blog/how-to-get-ilr-in-ukhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/how-to-get-ilr-in-ukWed, 04 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamTo get UK ILR in 3 years under the new rules, you need to have earned at least £125,141 (about $170,000) a year in three of the last four years, or hold a visa from the highest talent group. Everyone else will reach Indefinite Leave to Remain, Britain's permanent residence, after 5, 10 or 20 years. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood set out the system in the House of Commons on 2 November 2026, and the Home Office published the policy as A Fairer Pathway to Settlement, command paper CP 1707. https://murblz.com/en/blog/ueno-bank-paraguayhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/ueno-bank-paraguayTue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamParaguay draws foreigners with low taxes, accessible residency and dollar accounts, so the fall of the country's largest bank by clients hits expats and investors directly. On 2 November 2026 ueno bank was placed into resolution. Deposits are frozen, but the law protects foreign depositors on equal terms with Paraguayans, and money above the guarantee has a clear legal path back. Here is what that means for your personal savings, your company and your next steps. https://murblz.com/en/blog/o1-visa-requirementshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/o1-visa-requirementsMon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamTo get an O-1 visa, you need documents that meet at least three of eight criteria, a file that persuades an officer you are at the top of your field, a US employer, a US agent or your own company to file the petition, and a written advisory opinion from a peer group or an expert in your field. The O-1 has no list of professions. A software developer from Asia met these requirements and got an O-1 visa approved in 2026 within 2 months, seven weeks to be exact, with one request for evidence (RFE) along the way and a case budget of $19,000, not including PR work. https://murblz.com/en/blog/eb1a-criteriahttps://murblz.com/en/blog/eb1a-criteriaMon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamTo get EB-1A approval, you need evidence of extraordinary ability that meets at least three of the ten EB-1A criteria, from prizes and scholarly articles to judging the work of others, or a single major international award, and then the officer weighs the whole file. A client from Brazil, whom we call C., got an EB-1A petition approved in nine months of work, counting everything: gathering and preparing the evidence, judging work and the rest of the file. The US immigration service (USCIS) asked one round of questions along the way. https://murblz.com/en/blog/cuba-residency-requirementshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/cuba-residency-requirementsMon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamCuba spent half a century under a migration law written in 1976, and on November 1, 2026 that law finally retired. Three new statutes took effect at once: Law 171 on migration, Law 172 on citizenship and Law 173 on foreigners, along with two government regulations. The famous 24-month rule, under which a Cuban who stayed abroad for more than two years lost resident status, is gone. Foreigners get a new ladder to permanent residence: up to 9 months to review the application, a probation year and a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. https://murblz.com/en/blog/portugal-new-citizenship-lawhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/portugal-new-citizenship-lawSun, 01 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA Portuguese passport has become more expensive, though the price is paid in years rather than euros. Since May 19, 2026, naturalization has required 10 years of residence instead of 5, and on October 29 the government took the next step: the Council of Ministers approved a decree-law spelling out how candidates will actually be tested. Exams, stable income, biometrics and a written commitment to democracy all now get a working procedure. https://murblz.com/en/blog/new-us-entry-requirementshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/new-us-entry-requirementsSat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamAmerican border rules rarely apply to everyone at once. New requirements usually target a specific visa or nationality. The order that takes effect on November 3, 2026 works differently: it covers every person on every aircraft flying into the United States from abroad. No exception for passport color, whether it is American, German or Brazilian. https://murblz.com/en/blog/dv-2028-green-card-lotteryhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/dv-2028-green-card-lotterySat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIn a normal year DV-2028 entries would be open right now: the green card lottery usually takes entries in October. In 2026 there is nothing to file. The US State Department has yet to open the previous draw, DV-2027, and on October 29 a federal appeals court paused the order that had set its dates. https://murblz.com/en/blog/antigua-citizenship-by-investmenthttps://murblz.com/en/blog/antigua-citizenship-by-investmentFri, 30 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamAs recently as July 2026, Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne promised that the citizenship by investment program would carry on, with or without visa-free access to Europe. On October 24, 2026, speaking on his own radio show, he said the opposite: the country will very likely commit to the EU to wind the program down. Preliminary Cabinet talks lean toward suspension, though no final decision has been taken. https://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-residency-family-farmhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-residency-family-farmThu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamStefan and Julia from Augsburg bought a 92-hectare farm in Paraguay and built up a herd of suckler cows. Stefan already spends most of the year there, and Julia and nine-year-old Marie will follow after the school year, in the summer of 2027. Here is the whole road: the purchase, residence, the herd, taxes, school and costs. https://murblz.com/en/blog/hpi-visa-ukhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/hpi-visa-ukThu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamBritain rarely hands out visas without an employer attached, and now it has nearly doubled one of them. In the Budget delivered on October 28, 2026, the government announced that the HPI visa will open to graduates of the world's top 150 institutions. The current list covers about 80. https://murblz.com/en/blog/turks-and-caicos-residencyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/turks-and-caicos-residencyWed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIt used to take 10 years to reach permanent residence. Now it will take about 20. On October 22, 2026 the Turks and Caicos Islands parliament passed a new immigration law: permanent residence for buying a villa is going away, investors get a 25-year permit and foreign workers face a 10-year cap. Who still makes it under the old rules and where everyone else should look. https://murblz.com/en/blog/living-in-costa-ricahttps://murblz.com/en/blog/living-in-costa-ricaWed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamAt twenty past five the sun touches the Pacific, and the whole beach at Santa Teresa turns the colour of apricot jam. The tide is low, the sand is hard and wet, and it holds the light like a mirror. Jakub walks out of the water with his board after the evening session, and Tereza meets him at the waterline, sandals in her hand. Ema is digging by the driftwood log further up the beach; she is four and has her own opinions about pelicans. Behind them the jungle climbs the hill in dark green layers, and somewhere up there a troop of howler monkeys is announcing the end of the day. https://murblz.com/en/blog/portugal-golden-visa-processing-timehttps://murblz.com/en/blog/portugal-golden-visa-processing-timeTue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamOf 46,000 golden visa applications, Portugal's migration agency has processed about 6,000, or 13%. The minister told parliament in October 2026, and on October 29 the government named the agency's third president in three years. How long you really wait for a card, what changed for citizenship, and when Portugal still makes sense. https://murblz.com/en/blog/serbia-election-2026-resultshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/serbia-election-2026-resultsMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamOn Sunday, 25 October 2026, Serbia voted against Aleksandar Vučić for the first time in 12 years. According to preliminary official results, with 8,077 of 8,392 polling stations counted, the Student List won 52.54% of the vote and the United Serbia coalition led by Vučić's Serbian Progressive Party 39.29%. Turnout reached 68.78%, the highest in more than 30 years. The same night Vučić conceded defeat. https://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguayan-company-car-in-brazilhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguayan-company-car-in-brazilMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA car registered to a Paraguayan company enters Brazil as a tourist's car when the driver lives in Paraguay and is only visiting. For a Brazilian, that takes three steps before the first trip: Paraguayan residence, a real move and a tax exit from Brazil. On the road you carry the car's papers, the company's power of attorney to drive it and take it out of the country, your driving licence and insurance valid in MERCOSUR. https://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-company-for-brazilianshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-company-for-braziliansMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert team“A company in Paraguay pays only 10%”: the phrase is right about the company's tax and says little about the rest: what the owner pays, what it costs to sell services to Brazil and what the Brazilian Federal Revenue requires from people with a company abroad. https://murblz.com/en/blog/leaving-brazil-tax-residencyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/leaving-brazil-tax-residencyMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamMoving abroad does not change your status with Brazil's Federal Revenue on its own. Until you report your departure, you stay a Brazilian tax resident and declare everything you earn worldwide in Brazil. The definitive exit, the saída definitiva, closes that door: from the departure date, Brazil taxes only Brazilian-source income, and only at source. https://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-election-2026-resultshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-election-2026-resultsMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamOn Sunday, 25 October 2026, Brazil elected a president, and it elected the same one. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took 51.79% of the runoff vote, or 64.26 million votes, against 48.21% and 59.83 million for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son. Three weeks earlier, on 4 October, Lula had lost the first round, 45.16% to 47.03%. Overturning that deficit in twenty days in a country the size of a continent is a story Brazilian political scientists will be unpacking for a long time. And two days before his 81st birthday, Lula secured a fourth presidential term. https://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-dividend-tax-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-dividend-tax-2026Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamFor 30 years Brazil did not tax dividends. Law 15,270 of 26 November 2025 changed that from 1 January 2026. In exchange, people earning up to R$ 5,000 a month no longer pay income tax, and those earning up to R$ 7,350 pay less. According to official data, the exemption reaches about 16 million people, and the minimum tax on high incomes about 141 thousand taxpayers. https://murblz.com/en/blog/best-cities-to-live-in-paraguayhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/best-cities-to-live-in-paraguayMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamParaguay draws Brazilians with low taxes, simple residence for MERCOSUR citizens and a lower cost of living.

In November 2026, passports will be checked at internal borders in seven countries at once: France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, while Italy checks arrivals from Slovenia. On 22 October 2026, France formally notified the European Commission that it is extending controls at all its internal borders from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. For France this is less news than habit: checks there have run without a break since November 2015, now into their eleventh year. https://murblz.com/en/blog/apple-developer-account-for-a-companyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/apple-developer-account-for-a-companySat, 24 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamEvery app in the App Store and on Google Play shows who sells it.

The money would not have gone into London flats: it would have flowed into funds run by the state development bank, which backs young technology companies. It sounded like the most expensive and least glamorous golden visa in the world. It did not even get that far. https://murblz.com/en/blog/turks-and-caicos-residency-by-investmenthttps://murblz.com/en/blog/turks-and-caicos-residency-by-investmentFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThere is still one place in the world where buying a beach house can end with a British passport. It is the Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean just south of the Bahamas. A US$300,000 home on one of the smaller islands buys permanent residence for life, and with it a road to territory citizenship and then to full British citizenship. https://murblz.com/en/blog/us-visa-revokedhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/us-visa-revokedThu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA US visa in your passport no longer means you will get into the United States. On October 20, 2026 the US State Department said it had revoked more than 300,000 visas since January 2025.
