Define what “easy” means to you
A route with an online form can still require legalisation, insurance, criminal-record documents or a local appointment. We do not currently have comparable, verified processing-time and refusal-rate data across all 16 countries, so we do not publish a fastest-approval ranking.
Compare income and savings separately
Thailand’s DTV asks for financial evidence of THB 500,000. Indonesia’s official E33G guide lists both US$60,000 annual income and US$2,000 funds. An income slider alone cannot establish that either savings condition is met.
Check where you are allowed to apply
The Mexico figure shown here comes from San Diego’s 2026 checklist. Italy’s figure is from its Los Angeles consulate. They are scoped examples, not universal figures for every applicant. Open the official checklist and confirm your actual channel before relying on a calculation.
Prepare the questions before the documents
Ask whether your nationality and work arrangement are eligible, which period of income evidence is needed, whether family applications are simultaneous, and which health-cover exclusions are unacceptable. Financial prechecks never replace these questions.
