The assessment

Two levels,
one named visa.

The free assessment points the way in seven questions. The in-depth one cross-checks destination, nationality, and purpose — including nomad nomad and Working Holiday routes — with your actual situation to name THE visa, with a feasibility score and its watch points.

19 destinations, 99 visas, dated official sources
An honest recommendation — even when the answer is “no suitable visa”

Your application

A dashboard that's
already personalized.

One click from the recommendation and your application exists: a checklist specific to your visa, expected documents, official forms, timelines — six tabs powered by the visa's own datasheet, not a generic template.

The guided journey

Every box you check
updates everything.

The checklist follows the real order of the process. Every official form is explained section by section — the tip that saves time, the trap that costs months. And everything reacts instantly: progress, next action, application status.

Official links only — never a private middleman
Your “next action” is waiting every time you sign in

The official forms

You fill them in on the government site,
guided section by section.

Last nameadPass never enters your data for you: every step redirects you to the official online form — and you fill it in fully prepared. For each section, the practical tip that speeds things up and the documented trap that costs months, with your progress checked off step by step.

Tip
The spirit of the program
A Working Holiday funds a holiday through incidental work: a plan that looks too “professional” (aiming for a permanent contract, full-time from day one) can sink the interview.

Quota and calendar
Discovering the application window is closed = a year of waiting. Have your file ready before slots open.

Submit

Your regime, your fees,
your date.

The Submit tab shows the procedure for YOUR case — the bilateral agreement that applies to your nationality, exact fees, filing method. You log the date: the application switches to “filed” and your decision window appears, computed from the visa's official processing times.

Timelines & tracking

A dated timeline,
alerts standing watch.

The timeline pins every milestone to your target date — down to the arrival steps everyone forgets. And when regulations move (they do), your dashboard alerts tell you before it costs you.

Regulatory alert
Japan — 2026 Working Holiday slots in Paris are exhausted: the 2027 calendar opens in December.

Your plans evolving?
Your application keeps up.

Regulations move

Reforms, indexed thresholds, programs suspended then reopened: datasheets are re-verified against official sources and dated — your alerts keep you posted.

You change tracks

A Working Holiday that becomes a work visa, studies that lead to a post-study permit: every datasheet documents the next switch.

Several projects, one account

Compare two destinations, run two applications: your dashboard tracks them side by side, each with its own progress.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

Does nomadpass replace an immigration lawyer?›
No — and it's important to say so. nomadpass organizes publicly available official information and guides your administrative process. For complex situations (denials, appeals, special statuses), a specialized lawyer remains essential. nomadpass is built for standard cases, which represent the vast majority of applications.
Is the information up to date?›
Yes. Every piece of information published on nomadpass is verified against official government sources. The date of the latest verification is shown on each guide. We update our database continuously as soon as a regulatory change is published.
What if my visa isn't on the list?›
nomadpass currently covers 99 visas across 19 destinations — Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. If your situation doesn't match any available visa, the assessment will tell you clearly and point you to the competent official resources. We expand our coverage regularly.
Can I manage several applications at once?›
Yes — €49 access includes 3 application credits, each letting you create one complete visa application. You can run a France application and a Luxembourg application in parallel, or compare two strategies for the same project. Beyond the 3 included applications, each additional one costs €9. Note: a credit is spent permanently when the application is created — it is not returned if you later delete that application.
Does the guidance adapt to my nationality?›
Yes, and it's essential. Your nationality determines your actual procedure: depending on your country of origin, you may be visa-exempt, fall under a specific procedure, or see your fees and supporting documents vary. As soon as you enter your nationality in your space, the fees, filing methods, and displayed steps adjust automatically to your situation — you only see what truly applies to you, whatever your visa.
Does nomadpass fill in my forms for me?›
No — and that's deliberate. Official forms must be filled in and signed by you, on government platforms. What we bring is worth far more: section-by-section guidance that tells you what to enter in each field, the mistakes that get applications denied, and the direct link to the right, current form. You stay in control, with an expert explaining every step.
What exactly does €49 access include?›
€49 access is a one-time payment giving you 1 year of: the in-depth assessment that confirms the best-fit visa for your situation with its watch points, 3 application credits valid for all covered countries and visas (€9 per additional application), a dashboard personalized to your nationality, a guided journey with expert tips and traps to avoid at every step, document tracking, section-by-section form guidance, a dated timeline, filing support, and email support. No subscription, no automatic renewal.
