Official Government Websites of Major Destination Countries
The Migration Policy Institute regularly receives inquiries from those who would like to know how to migrate to a number of countries. As we cannot assist or advise such individuals, we have compiled this list of major destination countries and their government websites that provide immigration information.
This list is in alphabetical order. All websites are in English unless otherwise noted.
If your desired country is not on this list, you may want to contact that country’s nearest embassy or consulate for information.
