How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the typical processing time in calendar days for a first longer-stay visa or residence route. Shorter times are better because they increase planning certainty and reduce relocation costs.

Nomadino uses official immigration and consular pages as the main anchor. Where no single time limit is published, typical time windows are checked against national portals, digital application routes, appointment availability and maintained Nomadino residence data.

The rating is inverse: very short procedures around one week reach 100 points, while very long procedures around one year approach 0 points. The raw value remains visible as days so the ranking stays practically readable.
