According to a report by international insurance provider William Russell and shared by The Economic Times, Hungary, Malta, and Austria are the top choices for expats looking to relocate due to their relatively easy migration processes.
Hungary stands out with a score of 3.85, low salary thresholds (€15,146), and minimal fees (€65). Malta follows closely with a score of 3.87 and a significant expat population.
Austria ranks third with a score of 3.91 and speedy processing times (eight weeks). Estonia, Germany, Latvia, and Croatia also offer welcoming environments for expats.
Conversely, India, Australia, and Finland are noted as the most challenging countries for emigration. Factors affecting the difficulty of relocation include expat population, recommended vaccines, work visa fees, minimum earnings thresholds, processing times, and language proficiency tests.
Waiting for application processing is particularly arduous, with wait times fluctuating; for instance, the Government of Canada reports a 41-week wait for UK residents seeking temporary work permits.
Language proficiency tests are mandatory in some countries like Australia, Canada, and the UK, while others may require proficiency for specific job roles. Failure to meet language requirements can hinder visa approval, as many applications and documentation are in the local language.

The artistic project that will adorn the Ħal Kirkop Parish Church is being given a new pictorial scheme. The project is being funded by the Malta Arts Council and the Malta Airport Foundation.
This artistic project is being carried out by established artist Anthony Spagnol, who will be integrating contemporary elements while respecting the existing artistic heritage.
During a visit from Owen Bonnici, the Minister for National Heritage, the Arts, and Local Government, he observed the progress of the project and subsequently expressed his support for how this initiative seeks to enrich the cultural, artistic, and social significance of Ħal Kirkop village.
“This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to the preservation and celebration of our artistic heritage and identity as a country. Every investment in our heritage is an investment in ensuring that this heritage continues to be enjoyed by future generations,” said Minister Bonnici.
Michael Pace Ross, the Administrative Secretary of the Archdiocese of Malta, emphasized that this project honors the legacy of those who preceded us, leaving behind a heritage that reflects their faith, passed down through generations.
“I express gratitude for the collaboration driving this project forward. We must continue to preserve this heritage for our future generations and for the benefit of tourists. I extend my thanks to the professionals involved, the Malta Arts Council, the Malta Airport Foundation for their funding, and all contributors, including parish priest Dun Martin Cardona,” remarked Mr. Pace Ross.
Kenneth Cassar, an art historian aiding the Church of Ħal Kirkop in this endeavor, highlighted, “This project achieves a harmonious blend between the existing pictorial scheme by Giuseppe Briffa and the proposals of artist Anthony Spagnol, resulting in a comprehensive scheme that encompasses both artistic periods and liturgical elements.”
