How to read this brief. Routes are ranked from Mirabello's live dataset. Each figure shows the official source it was verified against and the date. Where a figure is marked provisional, treat it as indicative and confirm against the linked government source before acting. Programme terms change, sometimes with short notice. This is general information, not investment, legal, tax or financial advice.

Want this mapped to your situation?

Ask Mira for a route based on your nationality and goal, or have a Mirabello specialist confirm eligibility and next steps. Information, not advice.
