If I want to have plans to actually leave the United States in the next four years, where should I be looking? I have hereditary Lithuanian citizenship so I might be able to get myself in the Schengen Area with that alone but I’m lucky enough to have expertise in an unspecified industrial technology, with the caveat that I am transgender.
Right now my two choices seem to be European (Germany?) or somewhere in E Asia (Vietnam, PRC). How realistic are either of these options, namely Vietnam or the PRC.
No escaping global capitalism and climate change.
PRC is a no-go, at least if you’re seeking naturalization. Work visas that are renewed a bunch of times seems to be the way these westerners stick around. Vietnam seems less stringent and a cool place though! I had a chance to go with a buddy to Japan and then to Vietnam (who he moved away from at 11 y/o) to visit. I should have went.
Ireland seems cool and a somewhat socialist background. A lot of places in Europe seem to be having a rising alt-right presence which is concerning.
Thanks! Yeah, honestly Europe isn’t looking great, and if what I hear from my Euro friends is true it seems like as shit gets worse the continent’s just gonna get more and more reactionary. Hopefully I’m wrong, but mainland does seem iffy long term.
My favs to dream about are Ireland, Vietnam, China, and maaaybe some Scandinavian country (and Finland). I have a wife and kids though so it’s a little hard to organize a move to another country.
You could probably get into Germany if you can get a work visa. But be prepared that the German language sucks ass and we’ll have the same problems as the US but 10 years later…
To be honest, if you are an english speaker german might be one of the languages that sucks the least ass.
Oh cool, glad to hear you’re getting Victoria 2 in a week.
On a more serious note, would it even be worth it? Frankly just looking for a place where I can settle in a city with better worker’s protections and healthcare; cool culture and stuff to do helps but you can find that basically anywhere.
here in england the healthcare is good, the workers protections aren’t good, but better than america
we are kind of the terf capital of the world though, and the tories are, well, tories
Yeah, I’ve got the possibility of UK Citizenship if I pursue it, but frankly it just kind of seems like America with healthcare. Nice, might pursue it, but I’m at the dreaming stage right now and might as well see how far I can realistically go with it.
Canada? I think you can immigrate if you have in-demand skills, which is probably most technical things. Have to wait until they open their borders again.
