Five countries that will pay you to move

You'll see each other, but some countries are willing to pay migrants to move to their cities. There are many reasons for this: an increase in the population, an improvement in the economy of the region, replenishment of the shortage of qualified personnel, rehabilitation of ownerless lands, etc.

Collected a selection of countries, moving where you can get a solid compensation.

1. Greece

Of course, in Athens or Chalkidiki will not be located. But there is in the land of eternal summer the island of Antikythera in the Aegean Sea. Every year, the island loses young people and skilled personnel: everyone wants to leave for the big land.

The authorities of the island offer families who move here to work many privileges: free housing, land and a monthly allowance of 500 euros. The main condition is to live there for at least three years. Currently, there is a research center for climate change, where you can also get a job.

2. Spain

The homeland of paella and flamenco for moving to their lands will pay 3,000 euros to each couple and the same amount at the birth of each child. One caveat: you will have to settle in a small village of Ponga in the north of the country in the Asturias region. It is located 6.5 hours from Madrid, but only an hour from the coast of the Bay of Biscay. You will have to live here for at least five years.

Getting a long-term visa when moving to Asturias is much easier than for foreigners who are planning to move to the more developed region of Spain. Moreover, in Pong you can buy a good house for an affordable price, which will qualify for permanent residence in Spain.

3. Switzerland

The option of moving with a surcharge is even in Switzerland. The small village of Albinen offers foreigners who have moved here and bought or built a house, good financial assistance: 25,000 Swiss francs per adult (more than 2.5 million rubles), 50,000 francs per couple and 10,000 francs per child.

Among the conditions of the program: the age of the emigrant is not more than 45 years, you need to live in Albinen for at least a decade, and before that - get the approval of the village administration.

4. Canada

This country will gladly host highly qualified specialists in the field of production and applied crafts. Young scientists are especially appreciated. Different provinces of Canada offer different conditions for resettlement, including different sizes of subsidies – an average of 10 to 20 thousand Canadian dollars. The government expects you to stay here forever.

5. Japan

The latter option is exactly suitable for introverts - the Japanese village of Mishima, southwest of the island of Kyushu. This is a small provincial town where pensioners live. The foreigner, who moved here by the authorities will be paid a monthly allowance for three years, as well as a one-time payment of about 126 thousand Japanese yen and even one cow to the farm. The candidacy of the migrant must be approved by the village elders.
