Some countries, such as Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and Switzerland offer a hybrid regime, whereby third-country nationals are required to apply for long-stay visas in their home country, with the exception of a few nationalities who are permitted to apply for a residence permit directly upon arrival without having first to obtain a long-stay visa.
Beberapa negara, seperti Jerman, Hungaria, Belanda dan Swiss menawarkan visa dengan rezim hibrida, di mana warga negara ketiga diwajibkan mengajukan visa kunjungan dengan jangka waktu panjang di negara mereka, serta dengan pengecualian bagi beberapa negara yang diizinkan mengajukan permohonan izin tinggal secara langsung saat kedatangan; tanpa harus memperoleh visa tinggal jangka lama terlebih dahulu.
