  • We’ve all felt it. That desperate, cloying urge to escape. That semi-primal need to flee our home country and all its madness and never look back, and instead devote ourselves to relaxing on distant beaches / becoming a kung fu master (it’s a tough call). And we’ve also all felt its accompanying feeling: that sad realization that our dreams are but beautiful illusions, and cruel, cruel reality is gonna drag us kicking and screaming back into its stifling embrace any minute.

    Also, when it comes to svalbard: It can be difficult to get a job at Svalbard, and it is therefore recommended to get a job before traveling there. Most housing in Svalbard is owned by employers and is often offered in connection with a job offer. This makes it difficult to find housing without having a job at Svalbard.

    Belgium Immigrant here (from Canada): It is incredibly difficult to emigrate to Belgium. He's correct to say that all you need is a work visa, but to get that work visa the Belgian company has to prove to the government that 1) Your position can't be filled by a Belgian, 2) it can't be filled by someone from the BENELUX region, 3) it can't be filled by someone in the EU region, 4) it can't be filled from someone from one of it's past colonies, and lastly 5) it can't be filled by a refugee. This process can take a year (took me 9 months) and during this time you may not work in Belgium. You must then work here for 5 - 7 years and take a Belgium citizenship test (with language proficiency). Belgium is notorious for bureaucracy. I received my Belgian citizenship about 13 years ago. Some of the rules may have changed, but I've seen the rules tend to get stricter.

      Ever notice how liberals love many European countries compared to the US, but remain silent about policies that are not 'liberal'? E.g. Belgium immigration policies. Those would be called racist if proposed for the US. US corporations screw over US citizens and hire foreigners to replace them in jobs, but to oppose this is racist and ognorant.

      By arriving in the 14OOs my Spanish Basque ancestors apparently arrived in our land of milk and honey in time. After creatively and cruelly decimating the Protestant locals, they upgraded my threadbare family name 'Fuentes' in 'de Fuentes', 'de Fontana', 'de Fontaine' and settled for Delafontaine, getting them well-paid promotions and marriages to surviving gorgeous blonde local spouses.
      Cosmopolitans or Elles were yet to popularize the ease and frequency of throwing their new Iberic husbands through the new family residences.
      The concise Spanish civil servants' edition of "Principles On Pragmatic Citizens' Management" strongly favored former proud, but now constantly drunk and useless husbands to set sail to New Spain. This rule was limited to the non-decapitated.
      But what do we get to hear when WE take the freedom to govern our OWN country, according to The Book. OK, the current stricter rules to immigrate are partly election-related and even Uncle Adolf would've had a point, if he told us now that the Lebensraum every Belgian wants to stretch by adding his own ugly house on farmland or on the beach itself, is getting dangerously near to a point of saturation no North-American would be ready to accept.
      What only a few people know, is that Leopold II - before becoming the individual who personally owned the largest territory in the history of Mankind by adding the Congo to his OWN possessions - had already tried to buy a serious chunk of land in Mexico, where his sister was The Empress. If today, Putin would personally own a 'free state' 80 times the size of Russia, he'd need 8,5 oceanless planets the same size as planet Earth.
      If you follow current world affairs, you'd notice how broad-mindedly our former Warsaw Pact friends tackle the immigration problem. When Belgium stands its ground, we're fascists; Hungary, The Czech Republic, even Moldova, simply repair the Iron Curtain, put every adventurer surfing along on the immigration wave on planes on the very day of arrival and everybody takes it for granted. Austria and Germany say that WWII ended 73 years ago and don't hesitate to repeat the experiment.
      I honestly wonder what Canadian authorities would do, if one word in MY documents is misspelt. I guess it's a safe bet to prepare myself for a forceful kick in the butt, putting me on my way to a Brussels bound plane.

    WTF? Why is Georgia not on this list? It's one of the easiest countries to emmigrate to - Americans and Europeans can stay 1 year at a time on _just a passport_ and to reset the one year, all you have to do is leave for one day and come back (a trip over the Armenian border for a few hours is fine). You can work legally on your passport and can get 5 year residency if you get a job - _any job_ - or start any business, including work for yourself as an individual entrepreneur.

      What is your standard for safety then? All the countries you have mentioned both Christian and Muslim are at least as safe if not safer than your country. The unsafe countries are ones with high terrorist activities or wars like Syria, Libya, Central Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, ... or countries with high crime rates like some South American countries. Other than that any country with normal laws and standards is considered safe. Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey are much safer and more beautiful and quite countries than most east Asian countries. And Azerbaijan, Turkey, and most Muslim countries are safe and beautiful as well.

    Moving to Svalbard may not be as easy as you think. You are not allowed to build a house at Svalbard, but you are obliged to have somewhere to stay. There are very few houses available in the private market and those available tend to be very expensive, even by Norwegian standards. In practice you have to be employed and it is common that the employer lends you a house or an apartment. Realistically this is the only viable way of staying at Svalbard at longer periods at the time. Keep in mind that there aren't too many jobs available up there either.

      Also, unless you have a private airplane or work as a scientist, you need to go to Norway to take a weekly scheduled flight or boat. If you’re not from a Schengen country then you need a Norway specific Schengen visa. In Norway, you may be denied traveling to Svalbard for many reason, most certainly if you want to stay there permanently. Insufficient funds, unemployed, no housing, not meeting strict medical requirements and age are the most common reasons. If you’re an ordinary retiree and are on a normal pension, even by Norwegian standards, then look elsewhere, because you will be rejected. If you’re a woman, and are not employed and do not have a house there, but still wants to live there, then you need to marry a man who fill all the requirements to stay there, and you should try learn the Thai language and eat SomTum, since most women living there are Thai.

    Austria is far from easy to immigrate to. There is a lot of variations but in the scenario given in the video (3rd Country Nationals -- USA or not) you must enter into an integration agreement and you will have to learn German within 2-years at the A2 level. For Permanent Residency you need to have B1 level German.
    On top of this you have to meet certain basic requirements that even EEA/Swiss 2nd country nationals must fulfill (prove you have work and can support yourself). Note that for 3rd country nationals you better be highly qualified or fit one of the occupations in shortage -- and renew your Red-White-Red card every 12 months.
    Oh, and anyone (even EEA/Swiss) have to register within 3 days of setting up residency (and re-register if you ever change your home within Austria) -- this is a requirement even for Austrian Nationals.
    PS: D-Visas are not just for Americans of the United States.
    If you can get an EU Blue card of course you can jump right in.
    Aside: If you want citizenship add 10 years of living in Austria as well as the above among other requirements.

      Canadian entities comes to Ireland every year for a Job trade fair event in Dublin and they literally recruit people on the spot, mostly in construction jobs, carpentry, plumbers, jobs in demand in Canada. They get you sorted with your visa and paperwork. Maybe they have a special deal with Ireland. But for an Irish person is very easy to move to Canada or Australia. It's part of being Irish to spend a few years in one of these countries.

      Exactly. Canadian immigration works on a point system. Its actually very hard. If you get a certain amount of points(in-demand skill, x amount in savings as examples of points), you most likely will not get in. He is wrong here.

    Have you never heard of Asia? Many great retirement options, and some very cheap cost of living. Philippines and Cambodia are probably the easiest & cheapest. Lots of visa options, all of them inexpensive. I am a permanent resident of the Philippines, and been here almost 6 years. My wife and I spend under $1,000 (USD) a month. I love it!

Also in the south there is some beautiful and developed cities like Asunción and Encarnación. Just stay away from San Pedro. I've now been staying in Argentina for quite some time and I can assure you that in terms of safety for example Paraguay is definitely the place to go to. Also electricity for example is much cheaper in Paraguay than in most other South American countries.

      A FUN STORY ("...safety")
      The portier at my hotel was actually the owner of not the hotel but the building, which she had rented to another person who owned the hotel as a business (but not the building). The portier only worked part time, her daily job being a POLICE officer.
      One day she brought me along as her security gaurd while on an undercover mission in a nearby shantytown. A local gangster member had died and she wanted to attend the funeral to take pictures of the other participants (possible gang members). And she felt the mission too dangerous to do on her own. She was not recognized though, so nothing happened.
      FUN FACT:
      The "house" with the funeral was located in the far end of the shanty town, which was sepated from the (left side of the) presidential palace only by a 5-6 meters wide lawn on a 3-4 meters high embankment. There was not even a fence, nor any guards - visible at least (the lack of both these give some indication of the safety in Paraguay; such measures are/ were apparently not needed). So the president literally had a shanty town in his back yard, but that could not disturb his dreams.

In fact I have never seen a place where there were not distinct advantages is one is open and adaptable. Most western people however are so set in their ways they except another society to be a cheaper copy of what they came from and to cater to them. That is backward, adapting usually means learning a lifestyle that has many benefits. I have lived outside my native USA for 18 years and visit very seldom, but when I do it makes me very thankful I left before it got as bad as it is now. The division, hate, corruption at the highest levels of government and corporations is more than anywhere else, and the non-wealthy, average people are living much worse than their parents did. Trying to reproduce a US lifestyle is expensive and undesirable if one seeks personal freedom, security and low stress. Expecting a larger than needed home, and 3 cars in a country where public transportation is cheap and convenient is a nonstarter, there is no such thing as a low-stress western life. Everyone who moves away from the US, and adapts, report that their quality of life, personal freedom and social/cultural activities greatly increase. I picked the only large city that felt like home to me, not being a city person at heart, was St Petersburg Russia, where I moved from Marin in California 18 years ago. I have not regretted it 1 minute, it is just a better, more open, fun, social environment, with very low cost of living and world-class cultural, beauty, fun and zero stress. I have never gotten a car here, which surprised my old acquaintances who knew me as a car guy, having a passion for restoring Italian GTs. It is too easy and cheap to get around using the great public transport system on which I spend about $30/month. The 300-foot deep metro system (subway) is fast, cheap and the underground stations are beautiful, spotlessly clean and ornate. I went to a lovely beach yesterday 40km from the city, it cost $0.66 by fast train.
    But expats find that any place the go native in, turns out to be great for them. I can live an active social life, out every night, and all cost of living for what my water bill alone was back in California. It is just more fun to socialize where there is none of the hate and division or class warfare like the US. And being surrounded by the most educated population on earth certainly is a pleasant change from the US.
    Go explore, the sooner the better for young people before getting crushed by the debt culture in the US, or retirees, or young families, those 3 groups are going to benefit the most from living for a major improvement in quality of life.

      Yes, name a country where is it perfectly legal to bribe all of congress and senate by corporations and foreign countries and where those influences determine all policy. It has been over 30 years since any law has passed which benefits the people by their wishes, more than either the sponsoring corporations or foreign entities. Study after study shows that the people have almost zero influence on property, use of the budget, services or rights. Corporations, wealthy and foreign entities get their way, every time, you don't. I don't. I still vote but it is a useless exercise in the US. That is more serious corruption than in any country I know personally. Money in politics trump any rights of people.

      I am not a communist. I was a democrat for 40 years and switched to independent in 2015 and still vote absentee in California where my legal residence is, despite only going back for brief visits every 3-5 years. In the last election my vote did not even count since no absentee ballots were counted (4,000,000) in my state before the Sec of State declared the state had selected Clinton. I am sure I know both the reality in the US and many foreign societies much more than you.

    • @stanspb763

      Pacer Dave "Russia is better to live in then the U.S.?" For all but the wealthy it surely would be. There are thousands of expats living here and few could imagine going back to the turmoil, division, militarized police, violence and anger that permeates US life now. It was not always that way. I really enjoyed growing up there and thought is might have been the best place the raise a family or start a business, 40 years ago it was true. Now, about 100 countries have a better quality of life, more opportunities, and better environment for raising a family. A lot has changed. 40 years ago, if you had a full time job, and were relatively prudent with money management you could raise a family, save some savings, be secure, afford medical care, take regular vacations, send the kids to college and have one of the parents stay home if desired, and not be in debt. The middle class and workers owned, collectively 68% of the national wealth. That was the heyday of the middle class. Inspection of the economic plight of recent grads or young families now, they can only look forward to a very diminished life and never being economically secure, and never being out of severe debt. Russia is lik the US 50 years ago, having a job is enough to live fully debt free. Free medical, free university, 1-4 years paid family leave, guaranteed paid vacations of min.30 days, very low cost of living, vast opportunies for cultural events and services. I my adopted city there are 354 museums!! 54 concert halls and 330 drama theaters...students get into all of them for free. There is almost no street crime, no homelessness, and 4-5 times higher rate of home ownership. The majority of college seniors already own a home free and clear of any debt. There is a lot more free time for socializing, vacations and pursuing interests. Even the cops are very laid back, and talk through problems and its very very rare for a gun to be pulled.. This is a city of 5 million official residents and about 2 million unofficial, and there is no neighborhood I have to warn visitors from venturing into, even at 3am, a single woman would not have a problem. Because so many people own their homes, with no mortgage, neighborhood are rather stable, few renters or tranists..
      Taxes are low, There is a large portion of every city devoted to public access such as parks, cultural centers, drama theaters social centers etc.
      The world cup, the biggest sporting event in the world, right now going on in 11 cities of Russia so visitors came from all very the world, usually sports fans who don't care about politics but their reaction to what they found versus what they were told by their own national governments and media is radically different. Check out the hundreds of videos on TH-cam that have posted and their observations. They are very surprised to find it so much fun, open and easy going. 500,000 came to this city alone and it was nonstop parties in the streets, pubs and restaurants ....cheap, fun, no hassles and no arrests. I have not talked to one who was not very complimentary over how they were treated and how much fun it has been. Even the normally hostile press have admitted this is the best organized, friendliest and beautiful World Cup ever in history. Go check out the videos if you do not believe me.
      It is easier, lower stress by far and more equitable here. There is essentially no racism, everyone gets along, opinions and differences are viewed as opinions, not something to judge a person by, so it never generates anger here. It is fun, and very pleasant....Besides the girls are about the prettiest anywhere, and surely the best educated. It is rare to find a person over 20 who does not have a college degree. I know none. So for me, and thousands of other American expats, living here is a blast, secure, fun, debt free, very low stress, surrounded by friendly highly educated people.

      I lived in Portugal almost 10 years and last year moved to Serbia. Housing prices in Portugal are still cheap by US standards but have been increasing steadily. Over the past few years more and more retirees are moving there and prices are adjusting accordingly.
      Yes, many speak English but if you want to live outside the biggest few cities Portuguese is necessary to get accepted or get around easily. Gasoline is expensive (€0.10-€0.20/liter more than Spain next door)
      Portugal is a pretty country full of history and historic sites. Crime except in a few certain areas is low but there are internal problems as Portugal is swimming in debt.

    The easiest country in the world to emigrate is ARGENTINA, you just have to enter like a tourist, then just wait until your tourist permission expires (don't worry you can get a job without paper without any problem) And after two years living illegally, you can ask for your permanent residence. You don't need money or speak the language or anything. Also public education (university included) its free, and public hospitals are free too. And if you have kids you can ask for help to the government, don't need to be legal, they will help you anyway.
