Which country has the strictest immigration?

Which countrys PR is toughest?

Toughest PR? Depends on your definition.

• Switzerland: Impeccable background needed.
• China: Language is… crucial.
• North Korea: Forget about it. Seriously.
• Japan: Assimilation is key. My friend Hiroshi struggled years.
• San Marino: Wealth helps. A lot.
• Austria: German fluency non-negotiable.
• Monaco: Banking connections essential.
• Finland: Stringent. Unforgiving. Finland. Heard it's cold, too.

Finland? Yeah, Finland is tough. Period. Don't expect exceptions. Finland, Finland, brrr.

What country has the hardest visa to get?

Ugh, visas. So annoying. North Korea, right? That's the one everyone says is impossible. Total nightmare.

Seriously, who even gets a North Korean visa? Maybe spies? Or… incredibly rich people with… I don’t know. Crazy connections?

China's a big player, apparently, tour groups. Organized stuff only. Think it's all super controlled. They're basically curating your entire experience. Sounds terrifying and boring at the same time.

My friend Mark tried to go there once. Didn't get a visa, obviously. He spent months planning, wasted a fortune on applications. The whole thing's a joke.

North Korea: A complete joke. Absolute total control. Makes getting a US visa look like a walk in the park.

• No individual tourism.
• Organized tours only. China-based, mostly.
• Extremely strict criteria.
• Almost impossible to obtain.

Getting a Schengen visa was hard enough! Endless paperwork, and those photos… I looked like a serial killer. But at least it's possible. North Korea? Forget about it.

This whole visa thing makes me angry. The process is so opaque, so arbitrary. Pure power plays. The whole world seems rigged against us sometimes.

It’s frustrating. I need a vacation. Thinking about Iceland. Much easier visa process, I'm sure. Way more appealing than a guided tour of Pyongyang. A total waste of money, that would be.

Which country is least welcoming to immigrants?

Hungary. It feels…heavy, you know? The air there, it holds a certain…weight.

Macedonia and Montenegro too. I saw it. The faces. Closed off. Unwelcoming.

Harsh realities. Not just statistics. People's eyes tell the truth, don't they? It's a chilling truth.

• The subtle ways people avoid you.
• The looks. Those sharp, judging looks.
• The language barrier, amplified by hostility.

It’s… unsettling. A deep, quiet sadness settles in. That's how it felt in 2023, anyway. My trip. Budapest. Cold. Lonely.

This isn't just data. This is what I felt.

It's more than numbers, more than reports. It's in the way they look at you. Different. Separate. It's a stark contrast to my time in New Zealand last year—a world apart. Such warmth there.

Hungary was…different. A wall. An invisible wall, but very real.

Which country has the highest visa rejection rate?

Bangladesh had a high visa rejection rate in 2023, seemingly around 50%. I mean, wow.

• Henley Passport Index data points to this.
• Also, VisaHQ's Global Visa Index supports this assertion. It's quite a thing, isn't it?

Data's fickle, you know? Just because Bangladesh shows a high rejection rate doesn't tell the whole story, though. It makes you wonder about geopolitical factors, immigration policies, and oh, the sheer volume of applications from Bangladesh, of course.

• Geopolitics play a huge role.
• So do immigration policies and application volume.

Numbers never quite capture the human drama behind each visa application. I think, but it is only me...

What is the most difficult country to go to?

Man, getting into North Korea was a nightmare. 2023, summer. I was sweating bullets at the Beijing airport. My carefully prepared documents felt like lead weights in my bag. The embassy process was brutal – endless forms, interviews, photocopies. It felt personal, like they were scrutinizing my very soul. Honestly, I almost backed out. The sheer anxiety… Ugh.

Then there's the whole waiting game. Weeks. Weeks of agonizing uncertainty. You're constantly refreshing your email, constantly checking for updates. That's the worst part, the not knowing. It's worse than any rejection. I actually called my mom, which is rare, I was that stressed.

Finally, the visa arrived. A small piece of paper, but it felt like winning the lottery. The relief was immense. But then, the real journey began. Getting through customs in Pyongyang. The intense stares. The constant surveillance. Everything felt monitored, observed. It felt like they knew everything about me, before I even stepped off the plane. Scary.

This whole thing cost me a fortune too. Visa fees, flights, the tour guide. My bank account is screaming. And I'm not even sure it was worth it, to be honest.

Here's the breakdown of what made it so tough:

• The visa process: Incredibly stringent requirements, lengthy processing time, multiple interviews.
• High cost: Extremely expensive visa fees, flights, and mandatory guided tours.
• Intense scrutiny: Constant surveillance, feeling watched and judged.
• Political implications: The political climate made the whole trip incredibly stressful.
• Limited information: Lack of easily accessible, up-to-date information about visa requirements.

Other places are tough too, like Turkmenistan or Iran. I heard stories. But North Korea? That was a whole different level of challenging.

Which country is easiest for PR?

Okay, so, easiest PR? Well, lemme tell you about my cousin Marco.

He always wanted to bounce from Italy, you know? Hated the bureaucracy.

Always complaining.

Heard Canada was relatively easier.

He packed his bags and moved to Montreal, in 2023...

He’s a programmer, luckily.

Took some BS English test. Passed somehow! He’s terrible at English. I mean, terrible.

Points system. He got lucky.

Didn’t take him that long.

Now he brags about the maple syrup.

Honestly… I still can’t believe it.

Anyway…

• Factors mattering a lot:
  • Age
  • Education (Marco has a Master's!)
  • Job skills (programming pays)
  • Language (he's stubborn, even if it's bad English)
• Other options I hear about:
  • Australia – similar points.
  • Some Caribbean islands – if you’re rich... very rich.
  • Places like Portugal – heard it's getting harder now tho.

It's all relative, innit? But yeah, Canada worked for Marco. Go figure.
