    Has anyone here figured out the relocation side of things for blockchain folks?

    I keep hearing about visas for “tech talent” in places like EU, UK, Canada, Australia… but when you actually start reading the fine print it gets confusing. Some say you need a job offer, others say portfolio or “proof of talent” is enough.

    What I’m trying to understand is:

    • What options are actually open for blockchain devs, security people, product folks etc.?

    • What kind of proof do they really accept hmm means GitHub, open-source work, community stuff, or only big company offers?

    • And what are the common issues? Like hidden salary requirements, rejections, or rules that look great in headlines but don’t really work when you apply.

    If anyone here has gone through it (or even tried and hit roadblocks), would love to hear your experience. Could save a lot of us from chasing the wrong path.

    I’ve been through this myself, so let me share what actually matters beyond the glossy “tech visa” brochures.

    For the UK Global Talent Visa, they do look at GitHub or research papers, but that’s not enough by itself. What carries real weight is endorsement from recognized orgs (think Ethereum Foundation, Polkadot, ConsenSys). If you can show contributions with visible impact like audits, EIPs, or even community leadership, it makes the process smoother.

    In the EU, Germany’s Blue Card is straightforward if you already have an offer with a minimum salary (around €45–50K). But if you’re in blockchain, many employers don’t want the paperwork, so you need to target firms already used to hiring internationals.

    Canada’s Global Talent Stream is probably the most practical route. Employers there get faster processing, but again you need them to be on board with the system. Australia’s Global Talent Visa is stricter: they ask for proof you’re among the “top” in your field, which often means published research or media recognition.

    Biggest pitfall? Many people underestimate how much “proof” is required. A strong LinkedIn profile won’t cut it, you need verifiable work that governments or endorsing bodies can check.
