EU-wide skilled permit with mobility across EU
The EU Blue Card is an alternative to HSM for degree-holding third-country nationals earning above the Blue Card salary threshold. It offers EU-wide mobility rules and is often preferred when the employer is not a Recognised Sponsor or the applicant plans intra-EU mobility.
