What this list rests on
- It only covers countries held in this site's data. That is 199 countries at the moment, not the whole world — a missing country means it has not been added, not that it fails the criteria.
- Each criterion is a simplifying label. Federal and unitary are short names for very different arrangements; island nation says nothing about the real distance to the mainland.
- Matching the criteria is not a suggestion of where to go. This filters structural facts. It does not weigh immigration routes, cost, or anything about your situation.
Other tools
- Time zone The time difference, the time right now in the capital, and how the two clocks line up.
- Day length Sunrise, sunset and how many hours of daylight there are in each capital, on the date you pick.
- Plugs Socket types, voltage and mains frequency — worth knowing before you pack an adapter.
- Dialling codes The dialling code of each country and how to place a call in and out.
- Driving side Which countries drive on the left, which on the right, and what to know about driving permits.
- Schengen 90/180 Add up the days spent in the Schengen area within the rolling 180-day window and see how many are left.
- Country type Read a country through its geographic and constitutional type: island, landlocked, federal or unitary.
- Tax residence Add up the days spent in each country over 12 months to see whether a tax residence threshold is reached.
- Distance Great-circle distance between two capitals and the estimated flying time.
- Days present Total days absent, the longest single absence, and the earliest date you reach the milestone you set.
- Residence milestone Enter a start date and the number of years required to see the milestone date and how far off it is.
- Passport validity How many months of passport validity are left on the travel date, and whether the six-month mark is met.
- Compare countries Put two countries in one table: form of state, geography, electricity, phone codes and driving side.
