Reading the field
Every country above is graded against this published scale — the same 1–5 rubric for assisted dying foreigner access, top to bottom. How we score →
Foreign nationals can access assisted dying services with minimal additional barriers beyond those faced by residents. Clear legal framework explicitly permits non-resident access. Well-established medical tourism infrastructure exists specifically for end-of-life services. Multiple documented successful cases. Reasonable visa provisions or immigration pathways available. Comprehensive support services for international patients and families. Processing times comparable to residents.
Foreign access is legally permitted with some additional requirements (e.g., short-term residency establishment, additional documentation). Several documented cases of successful foreign access. Some specialized services for international patients. Visa pathways exist but may require additional steps. Most administrative barriers are navigable with proper preparation.
Legal framework theoretically permits foreign access but with significant practical barriers. Requirements such as extended residency periods, complex documentation, or unclear administrative processes. Limited documented cases of foreign access. Some facilities may accommodate international patients but without specialized services. Visa and immigration requirements create substantial obstacles.
Severe legal or administrative barriers effectively prevent most foreign access despite theoretical availability. Very long residency requirements, prohibitive documentation needs, or discriminatory application of rules. Extremely few or no documented cases of successful foreign access. No specialized infrastructure for international patients. Immigration barriers make access practically impossible for most applicants.
Foreign nationals are explicitly prohibited from accessing assisted dying services, or assisted dying is not legal at all. No legal pathway exists for non-residents. No documented cases of foreign access. Immigration law explicitly prohibits entry for assisted dying purposes.
