In 2022, some countries began to ease visa approvals for foreigners. The main reasons revolve around an older population that cannot work. As a result, this was the year in which European countries were most in search of qualified labor to work. Recently, countries like Portugal, Germany and UK facilitated the acquisition of visas.

Visa Facilitation Trends in Europe and Other Countries
There are other countries that are also creating the visa facility to attract professionals who work at home office, known as "digital nomads”. Because of this, this was the year that many Brazilians also decided to say goodbye to go in search of new airs.
The most popular visa is for the United States. In this, the whole world did not see any flexibility, but in 2022 Brazilians reached the record for emigration to the North American country, being 13 times greater than expected compared to 2021.
New UK, Portugal and Germany visas
Among the novelties for visas from these countries are:
UK
In May, the United Kingdom announced the launch of the “high potential individual” visa, which, in free translation, means “high potential individuals”. The visa allows professionals who have already graduated from the best universities to be free to get a visa to live and work in the country.
Previously, they had to have a job offer from a UK company. The novelty only requires that the interested party has studied at one of the universities proposed on the list, from bachelor's to doctorate. The visa guarantees two years of stay.
Portugal
The country was at the forefront of nations that received the most immigrants from around the world. The visa was created to attract digital nomads, as well as creating a law to authorize work for those who make up the CPLP (Communities of Portuguese Language Countries). This list includes Brazil, certainly. The law has been approved and functioning since August 2022.
The novelty of the new visa is that it made it possible for professionals to look for jobs in the country for 4 months, 120 days, with the possibility of extending their stay for another 60 days. For this, it is necessary to prove to be part of the CPLP, offer the certificate that proves the criminal record and the financial situation.
Germany
Labor has been increasingly scarce in the country. The population is older, and there is no one to recompose in the labor market. Annually, there are 20,000 professional vacancies that Germans fail to occupy. In September 2022, the country announced that it is promoting a new visa so that professionals from all over the world can work in the country.
Germany's Federal Minister of Labor, Hubertus Heil, decided that the focus would be on non-European immigrants, for example. You must be at most 35 years old, have an academic degree, at least three years of professional experience and know the local language.
