Popular residence permits compared in 2026
Ten countries people most often move to on a residence permit: what the status is based on, how long it lasts, whether a tax resident's foreign income is taxed and when you can apply for permanent status.
| Country | Basis and minimum | First permit | Tax on foreign income | Permanent residence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paraguay | no income or investment | up to 2 years | not taxed | after 2 years |
| Serbia | work, own company, property, family | up to 3 years | taxed | after 3 years |
| Armenia | work, business, family, roots | up to 1 year | taxed | after 3 years |
| Kazakhstan | points and ~$13,000 in the bank per person | 10-year card | taxed | the card is already permanent status |
| Georgia | work with a permit, business, property from $150,000 | up to 1 year | not taxed | after 10 years |
| Argentina | income from $1,300 a month for retirees and people with passive income | temporary, renewable | taxed from the 13th month | citizenship can be requested after 2 years |

Where it is easiest to get a residence permit in 2026
- With no income or investment - Paraguay: income is checked only when moving to permanent status after 2 years.
- With passive income - Argentina from $1,300 a month, Spain from $2,700, Mexico from $4,630.
- Through your own company - Serbia, Montenegro and Georgia.
- The fastest decision - Armenia: 30 days.
- The longest document - Kazakhstan: a 10-year card straight away, but entry is by points.
An easy entry does not mean an easy life: some permits do not allow work for a local employer, and some countries tax foreign income from the first year. We check this before filing, not after the move.
If what you need is not residence but frequent business trips around the Asia-Pacific, look at the APEC business travel card: for entrepreneurs from member economies it replaces separate visas for short business trips and opens fast-track lanes at airports.
