Country-agnostische Taxonomie aller Migration Assistant Pfad-Archetypen und Transition Patterns. Jedes Segment beschreibt eine universelle Route-Klasse, die für konkrete Ziellände auf offizielle Rechtsprogramme gemappt wird.
A work-residence authorization based on a concrete job offer and an employer acting as sponsor (directly or indirectly). Usually ties status validity to the role/employer.
A work pathway where eligibility is primarily determined by measurable criteria (salary threshold, qualifications, points score), sometimes with job offer optional or required only at a later stage.
A work route prioritized by government-defined shortages or strategic sectors, often using occupation lists, nomination, or accelerated processing rules.
A work authorization for intra-company transfers or cross-border service provision within a corporate group (or as service supplier), typically time-limited and tied to the group/entity.
A short-duration work authorization for seasonal or temporary demand, often with strict sector limits, quotas, and return/cooling-off rules.
An employment route for caregiving or domestic work, often with heightened safeguards, sector restrictions, and sometimes special sponsor requirements.
A residence/work route for independent professionals: freelancers, contractors, sole proprietors providing services to clients rather than working as an employee.
A founder route designed for innovative startups, often requiring endorsement (incubator, government body) and proof of innovation, market potential, and funding.
A business establishment route based primarily on capital investment, net worth, and/or job creation (often with compliance and source-of-funds requirements).
Residence authorization for full-time tertiary study leading to a degree. Usually requires admission and maintenance funds.
Residence authorization for vocational training/apprenticeship (often with a training contract and sometimes wage/collective agreement rules).
Short-duration professional training/certification route (often time-limited and with strict return/continuation rules).
Language/preparatory/foundation route preceding a degree or training program; often with limited/no work rights.
Exchange/visiting student route for non-degree mobility (often via institutional exchange agreements).
Research/PhD/academic appointment route, often based on hosting agreement, research contract, or admission to doctoral studies.
Internship/traineeship/youth placement route (structured placements, sometimes tied to education program or youth exchange).
Reunification route for spouses/registered partners (and sometimes durable partners) with a sponsor in the destination.
Reunification route for dependent minor children (and sometimes adult dependent children) with a sponsor.
Reunification route for dependent parents or other dependent relatives; usually high thresholds and narrow definitions.
Derivative status for family members of a temporary resident (worker/student). The derivative’s rights depend on the principal’s status.
Derivative family route linked to a citizen or permanent resident sponsor, often with stronger rights or reduced conditions compared to temporary sponsors.
Family formation route where entry is granted to create the relationship (e.g., fiancé(e) routes), followed by in-country conversion to spouse/partner status.
Ancestry/diaspora/return-rights route granting residence/citizenship-like rights based on descent, ethnic ties, or historical return policies.
In-country asylum procedure leading to refugee status where criteria are met.
Complementary/subsidiary/humanitarian protection for those not meeting refugee definition but facing serious harm or humanitarian grounds.
Temporary/group protection frameworks activated for mass displacement; typically collective eligibility and time-limited status.
Overseas admission routes: resettlement, humanitarian admission, private/community sponsorship, often with selection outside the asylum system.
Authorization for remote workers employed abroad (or self-employed abroad) to reside locally without entering the local labor market, typically requiring minimum income and remote-work proof.
Youth mobility/working holiday route allowing young adults to live and work for a limited period, usually quota/bilateral agreement based.
Long-stay visitor/independent means/retirement route based on self-sufficiency (non-work or limited work).
Special-purpose long stay for specific non-work purposes (medical treatment, arts/sports, religious work, etc.), each with tailored eligibility and oversight.
Lottery or selection-based permanent residence route where eligibility and selection are determined by a government lottery or similar mechanism.
Multi-step pathway where an initial study status transitions to a post-study bridge (job search or graduate permit), then to a work status, then to longer-term residence (PR/settlement).
Training/apprenticeship status converts into skilled work status after qualification completion.
A preparatory status (language/foundation) transitions into study or training, then possibly into work.
A bridge permission allowing job search (or self-sponsored search) converts to a work permit once an eligible job offer is secured.
A temporary/limited work status transitions to a higher-skill or longer-duration work status after meeting upgrade criteria (experience, salary, qualification recognition).
Startup route evolves through incubation/endorsement to a full business authorization and then to longer-term residence.
A person lawfully resident in a third country uses that status/history to qualify for a stronger pathway in the destination (e.g., intra-EU moves, long-term resident transfers, regional arrangements).
A dependant/family-derived status transitions into an independent status (work/study/self-employment) and then to longer-term residence.
