Find cities that fit your income, work format, family situation and legal route — scored as a range, not a promise.
How it works
The Relocation Advisor scores cities against your profile — income, work format, family situation, citizenship — across 9 sub-indexes
drawn from official sources. You get a fit range (e.g. 62–66 %) rather than a single number, because data is never perfect.
A separate legal-eligibility check tells you whether a residency route was found for your situation.
This is a data tool, not legal advice — always verify eligibility with official government sources.

FAQ
What does the fit range mean?
Each city gets a low–high range rather than a single number. The width reflects data confidence: high-confidence cities (9/9 sub-indexes covered) get a narrow ±2 pt band; low-confidence cities get a wider band. The point value is the best-estimate score.
What is the eligibility check?
The advisor checks whether a legal residency route (visa, permit) exists for your citizenship and work format. 'Residence route available' means a route was matched. 'Eligibility needs check' means a route likely exists but your specific situation needs confirmation. 'No route identified' means no matching route was found in the data.
Is this legal or immigration advice?
No. The advisor is a data tool, not legal or immigration advice. Eligibility checks are based on publicly available official sources and represent our best-effort interpretation. Always verify with an official government source or qualified immigration lawyer before making any relocation decision.
Why is Germany available first?
Germany is our first live Advisor country because MigrationFit already has a broad Germany city database with 2 000+ city records, regional fallbacks, country metrics and legal-route sources.
What are the 9 sub-indexes?
Legal path, cost pressure, housing, work, family, healthcare, safety, air quality, and bureaucracy. Each is scored 0–100 and weighted by profile. A city needs at least 5 sub-indexes (including legal path and at least one of cost/housing) to be ranked.
