Common Questions
What is AlternateVisa?+
AlternateVisa is a global migration guidance platform for people of any nationality. Whether you want to study, work, gain permanent residency, bring your family, or you are facing a visa problem in your current country, we give you a clear, step-by-step path to your next destination.
Which countries do you cover?+
We cover 30+ study and skilled-migration destinations including Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Singapore, the UAE and the US — comparing eligibility, timelines and costs side by side.
Can I migrate without a job offer?+
Often, yes. Canada's Express Entry, Australia's points-based skilled visas, Germany's Opportunity Card, the UK Global Talent route and the UAE Golden Visa do not require a job offer for eligible applicants.
Do I need to be from a particular country to use AlternateVisa?+
No. The platform works for any nationality and any starting country. Your plan is built from your profile — education, experience, language, family and budget — not from where you happen to live today.
Is there help for people on a US H-1B visa?+
Yes. H1BPivot is one focused program inside AlternateVisa for H-1B holders in the US, covering the grace period, transfers and pivot options. It is a small part of the platform — most of what we do is global.
Is AlternateVisa a law firm?+
No. AlternateVisa is an information and guidance platform — not a law firm. Content is expert-reviewed but not legal advice. Always consult a licensed immigration professional for your case.
Your Next Country Starts in 60 Seconds.
Free. Expert-reviewed. Built for anyone, from anywhere, ready to study, work or settle abroad.
