Which countries would you suggest if I am looking for permanent residency (PR) in UK/Ireland?
If you are considering permanent residency (PR) abroad, Canada, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, the UK, Ireland, Singapore, Greece, and Malta are among the most accessible options for Indian citizens. Each country has its own pathways, like Canada's Express Entry, Australia's General Skilled Migration, Germany's EU Blue Card, and the UK's Skilled Worker Visa. Requirements, processing times, and long-term benefits differ, so it’s important to evaluate which destination fits your background, education in Physical Education, and career goals best. For detailed guidance on your specific profile and next steps, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
More expert answers
Both Ireland and the UK offer clear pathways to permanent residency, but the process in Ireland may be more direct. In Ireland, after your studies, you can obtain a work permit and apply for Long Term Residency after five years of legal work. The UK also requires five years on a Skilled Worker Visa before you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, but the process may take longer and has additional requirements. Considering your master’s degree and extensive work experience, both countries are viable options, but Ireland’s system may suit you if securing relevant employment there is feasible. Your decision should also reflect your career goals, job market prospects, and personal preferences. If you’d like to discuss this further, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
