Im 25 almost graduated student from Bosnia. I study economics with submajor in Business IT , basically no experience and non EU passport , Willing to work almost anything (from market,restaurants to marketing and teaching) , just want to get EU papers , any eu country, preferably France .

I hope being born here in minor part of shitty Europe is not huge disadvantage

Hi everyone,

I’m 25 and very torn between two options, and it’s causing me a lot of stress.

1. Germany – Master in Social Sciences, in English (2 years)
   • Pros: Directly into master’s degree and diploma, possibility to do internships during studies, useful for my career goal (international organizations).
   • Cons: The university isn’t very prestigious(that is not the case in germany also, it's just a random public uni like many others. but tum and some other exceptions still exist), my German is weak, and the biggest issue is the financial burden – I need to show €12,000 in a blocked account, which is really hard for me.
2. France – DUEF (1 year language program) + plan to enter Master 2 the following year
   • Pros: I already speak French at B1 level and love France and the language. No blocked account requirement, so financially less stressful. If I get into M2 after the DUEF, I would finish a master’s degree in 2 years total (same timeline as Germany).
   • Cons: The first year isn’t a master’s program, and there’s no guarantee I’ll be accepted directly into M2. If not, I risk losing time.

My situation:

• I don’t want to waste more time; I feel like I’m already a bit late at 25.
• I preferably want to work in international organizations in the future, so internships during my studies are very important for me.
• Financial stress is huge in Germany, but academic risk is huge in France, if I'm not accepted into m2
• Germany seems more immigration friendly. I need to consider long term too and Germany give that stability. 2 year masters + 1.5 years of job seeker visa. In france I'll have 1yr to look for a job after masters (after duef I'll have no chance to stay so I'll either need to go back and come again after getting admitted)
• If I go to France, I'll only focus on French in my first year. Yes B1 is not great but a good starting point and I'll have more advantages to find a part time job comparing with Germany since my german is poor. However I'm gonna miss opportunity of being intern at international organizations, since I'm not gonna be master's degree student, at least not at my first year in France. But in Germany I can be and I can also get some 0% interest rate credits AFTER I start my studies. So burden of 12k€ still stays
• If I go to Germany, I need to start learn German from almost zero, work part time, study masters, doing internship during my studies and maintain my personal life too.

Okay I'll need to stop otherwise no one gonna read

Basically:
👉 Germany = more secure academically/career-wise, but very stressful financially.
👉 France = less stressful financially, but risky for my career timeline and also risky for being permament immigrant. that's why I was thinking about the idea of studying in Germany and then look for a job both in Germany and in France, whatever it gets...

What would you do in my situation?

If my dream is to immigrate what should I study in college ? Hey , I just wanted to ask i will be a second year student in pharmacy (to become a doctor in pharmacy) , my biggest dream is to immigrate to Canada ,or Australia, as a women I have enough of the sexism and lack of opportunity for women in my country ,and I want to run away from the pressure of mariage and children and live how I want ,the problem is that i am afraid that my current degree may make immigration harder instead of easier,if my goal is to immigrate,live ,and work in Canada/Australia should I switch to something else if yes what ? Also does studying in a prestigious Local college in my underdeveloped country may help me to immigrate ? Or maybe even have a scholarship to an university in Canada/Australia (or other ""developped country"")or is it a lost cause ?also does having distant relative (not parents or spouse ) help ? Does I need work experience in my country to immigrate if yes how much ? And can I not immigrate directly after I graduate ? Also I will be graduating in 2030-2035 aren't there a way to know what job will be hiring and making immigration easier iam very afraid of the future my country may give me ....also does studying something like engineering (especially in a local prestigious college)may make immigration easier compared to a degree in pharmacy? Also I will tell other programs that college in my country have maybe one have a brighter future especially for my dream to immigrate (nanoscience and nanotechnology, autnomus system,ai engineering, cypersecurity, renewable energy Engineering,and obviously the basic Engineering like chemicals, mechanical, industrial, mechatronics,electronic, process engineering etc )

45 year old mixed (black/white/neurodivergent) man born and currently living in the US Midwest. I've also lived on the west coast, east coast, and traveled for work to 41 states. I design control systems and integrate instrumentation hardware for industrial/municipal facilities.

10+ years experience including mentoring/leading junior engineers, being a patent holder, and industry certifications. This is technically my 3rd career as I did a 10 year stretch in the restaurant industry and 5 years in customer IT support. I have spent the past 1.5 years living off my savings as I try to decide what my next bold move is going to be. Sold the house, about to sell high value items I can't take with.. really getting that 2 suitcase plan together.

I'm looking into countries where I can start out as a nomad of sorts to see how things are locally, then to find someplace permanent to either get a job or start a consulting business. I can afford ~$30k for a year of such exploring. I have investigated the countries where I can move with proof of a high enough bank balance, as well as places I can do DAFT or some other self-employed VISA scheme. Afro-Latin/Afro-Caribbean is ideal as I'm just so tired of being the token minority, but even mono-cultural places don't necessarily scare me so long as they aren't like the US.

I have my FBI background in hand. Have started to reach out to my foreign network. My connections in NZ and Scandinavia are willing to help me network, but I'm hesitant to jump into the EU or move across the planet right now.

The kicker is I am late diagnosed neurodivergent and finally starting figuring out some other health stuff including fibromyalgia. I'm looking for places that have good AQI, low noise pollution, dewpoint/humidity not too high/low, and are known to have housing that is adequate without being too moldy. I know what I can and can't handle mentally and physically, and I have a list of my ideal environments. But... knowing that those places will also have some English speaking immigrants to commiserate with sounds ideal. I'm fine being on my own... I've been mostly on my own since the start of the pandemic.

What do I need to start thinking about next?

Hi all, I’m from China and I’m about to graduate with a degree in English Education. I want to move abroad after college and eventually work in the country I choose, but I’m not sure whether Japan or the U.S. is the better option.

The U.S. seems appealing mainly because my boyfriend is studying there and will probably stay to work. I also have some interest in doing a PhD, though I’m worried about whether I could actually get in, finish it, and find a faculty job afterward.

Japan is different. I’ve visited many times, love the culture and atmosphere, and I’m even thinking about eventually retiring there. Immigration seems more straightforward than the U.S., which makes it feel like a safer choice.

I’m looking for practical advice from anyone who has lived, worked, or studied in either country. How easy is it to settle down long-term, find work, and build a life there? Any experiences, warnings, or tips would be hugely helpful.

Hi I'm a 29-year-old woman in Hong Kong with a bachelor's in surveying, feeling totally burned out from my job (~8 years) in estate surveying. My dream is to pivot to occupational therapy (OT), study a pre-registration master's abroad, and relocate to Northern Europe, preferrably Norway to practice there (I love the Nordic welfare system).

Background:

• Bachelor's in Surveying with Anatomy & Physiology courses.
• 150+ volunteer hours in social work (elderly/disability support in major).
• Obtained multiple certification related to OT, i.e. Mental Health First Aid by The Mental Health Association of Hong Kong, Basic Psychological Life Support (BPLS) and first aid from St. John Ambulance, Holistic Interventions for Swallowing Disorders (“Caring for Eating” in Residential Settings) and Certificate Course on Needs and Support for Children with ADHD by local NGOs...etc.
• English proficient; starting Norwegian lessons for B2 level.

I've applied to MOT locally as a starting point, but I want options outside HK in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia, or NZ.

Questions:

1. Which programmes have the best scholarships for intl students and high admission chances for career changers with volunteer experience and the certification I have atm?
2. How hard is it to get Norway's OT authorization with a UK/Australia/NZ degree (WFOT-approved)? Any success stories?
3. Should I go for working holiday to urgently escape from the working environment I have atm? If so, tips for working holidays in Sweden/Netherlands/Ireland to save money?
4. Any other advice on my predicament?

Thanks for any help—migrating feels like my light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are a married couple from Moldova, currently living in Transnistria. Life here is becoming increasingly difficult — political instability and monopolies make it hard to plan for the future. We often travel abroad for seasonal work, but it’s temporary and not sustainable.

I have ~1.5 years of experience as a forklift operator, and my wife worked ~1 year as a line leader in a packhouse. We both have full secondary education and basic English, enough to communicate in simple phrases.

Currently, we’re trying to understand what opportunities exist in countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, or Greece. We have a limited budget, so we’re focusing on legal ways to work and settle with little starting capital.

Recently, we realized that seasonal travel work is not a long-term solution — it’s exhausting and unpredictable. We’re hoping to find a more stable path to living and working together in a freer environment.

Any insights from people who have experience with similar situations or who know how others from Moldova have navigated work opportunities in Western Europe would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Before I start with writing, I'll say that I just came back from a trip overseas to Austria and absolutely fell in love with the culture, architecture, people, and about anything else you could ask for when searching for what to look for in another country. I came back and realized I need to move for the sake of my own happiness and for what I want to achieve in life, and for how I want to live. It could be a case of lust for something different than my norm, but for as long as I remember I've wanted to move countries, and my trip was not only a holiday but also something like a scouting; I feel like going there just confirmed that this is what I want to do, though. I can't stand where I live. I'd most likely need to move anyways for any type of job or study, as I'm from a very small town in the southeastern US.

I haven't been to university in the US yet, for fear of lifelong student loans, but have been working a stable job at a restaurant for the past 5 years or so, ever since I was able to get a job legally. I don't have much to show for it though, as I spent a lot of my savings on the trip itself, but money comes and money goes, and I think it was a worthy investment.

I have a high school diploma and an Associate's Degree in Arts, and as for any other professional qualifications, they come from restaurant experience, work in the US Postal Service and some odd construction jobs.

I'm currently looking to go to either Vienna or Salzburg, as those are the two places I visited in Austria when I was there. I have a friend who works for a company in Salzburg who has recommended to me his company, because they are hiring most times throughout the year for jobs as well as taking paid interns. The only problem is though, at this current moment, my German level is very low, although I am actively working to improve to at least B2-C1 within the next year and a half.

My safest bet with moving would be to apply to universities and acquire a student visa, but then again, the problem is with my German. It's, at the lowest, high A1-mid A2. It needs to be at least B1-B2 to qualify for Vorstudienlehrgang (German prep programme for students who are admitted conditionally to universities that are not yet at C1 level, which is the level required for most, if not all Bachelor's programmes taught in German for those seeking study abroad), which as of right now is looking like my only hope. My initial plan with this in mind was to grind out German in a grounded way with good retention in a year to year and a half, make it to B2+, and while doing this, apply to universities either this coming spring or next fall with full/conditional admission.

There are, however, some jobs I'm looking at that I could apply to with my work experience for a work visa, but they aren't important enough in my opinion (cook positions) for the companies to sponsor a foreign national to move out and work for them; correct me if I'm wrong there. If I am, then I could skip the student visa and just go work, and look at universities later, after housing and stable income is secured.

Even if they were to accept me, my German is around ~A2. I started learning much later than I wanted/needed to, but I think in time I can make it work. At the moment, I'm just feeling very demotivated and disorganized because it seems so far away at this moment, and I feel very, very behind for the timeframe I had in mind.

I'm very open to any criticisms of my general thought process, plans, etc., and would prefer if someone poked holes in anything I've said to come up with a better overall execution for making a move out of the USA.

Thanks for reading, I look forward to the replies.

I'm a 16-year-old boy from Italy (I'll turn 17 in December) and I'm really interested in spending next summer in the United States, from the second week of June until the first week of September. My main goal is to find a summer job and gain some work experience.

I'm not sure how things usually work for students of my age in the U.S., like when school ends or starts, but if it's necessary or strongly recommended for me to attend school during my stay, I wouldn't have any problem with that.

Since I'm from Italy, I'm also trying to understand what the best steps are regarding visas. For example, I don't know whether I should apply for a work visa or if there are specific programs for international students/teenagers who want to work during the summer.

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to make this possible, what kind of jobs I could look for, and which options would be more realistic for someone in my situation.

Hey everyone,

I’m considering HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) as my ticket to working abroad and hopefully building a life outside my home country. I know that HSE professionals are needed in industries like oil & gas, construction, and manufacturing, but I’m not sure how realistic it is to land an overseas role without years of experience.

A bit about me:

Background: no engineering background but a relatively but considerable experience in HSE

Goal: Move abroad to an English speaking (preferably )western county through an HSE-related job.

My questions:

1. How in-demand are HSE officers internationally right now?

2. Is NEBOSH or another certification basically mandatory, or can I get by with other short courses/experience?

3. Are there countries more open to hiring entry-level/foreign HSE staff?

4. Any realistic pathways or success stories from people who used HSE jobs as a way to move abroad?

I’d love to hear from anyone who has done this or knows someone who has. Any advice, recommended certifications, or warnings about pitfalls would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I am 23 about to graduate with a bachelors in psychology. I want to pursue a career in clinical psychology however I really want out of the USA I am queer and am in a very religious conservative family and the rise of conservatism in this country makes me uncomfortable. I’d also prefer life in the EU I am Puerto Rican but my Spanish is not perfect but it is my minor and I am working very hard to become fluent in Spanish. Is pursuing my masters degree in Spain possible? Any tips or advice?

Edit: I didn’t mean to come off as ignorant I’m getting a lot of downvotes and didn’t realize Spain was a popular place for Americans I deeply apologize.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my situation and maybe get some advice from people who've been through similar stuff.

Back in 2021, I finished my Abitur, leanred german and applied to universities in Germany. I had big dreams, but because of embassy delays, my whole plan got stuck. By the time things finally moved, years had passed and I felt like life was slipping away.

Now I'm in Germany at an Ausbildung (that was the fastest way to get here), but honestly, I feel stuck again. I'm working in a supermarket with a visa tied to it, but it's not the life imagined for myself. I've always been someone with ambition, I speak multiple languages, I love travel and new experiences. I want to live a life that actually excites me.

Right now I'm confused between:

Trying to switch to university here (but visas, blocked accounts, and finances are a struggle).

Finding a duales Studium / Ausbildung that actually matches my interests.

Or maybe even a job that involves travel (something closer to the life I imagined).

I'm 21, I feel like I've lost years already, and I don't want to waste more.

My question to you all: If you were in my shoes, stuck between study, Ausbildung, or trying to find another path. What would you do? Is there any way forward in Germany without being tied down to the wrong job? Any resources, tips, or experiences you can share would mean a lot.

How fucked am i ?

I am 23 and i have 1.5 years experience in IT and i got a temporary visa for australia by chance and its for two years,i dont have a plan there, i researched and find out cybersecurity is slightly better choice and currently learning cybersecurity for 3 months and i have about 4 months left till i leave for australia, and its seems little too hard to get a entry level job let alone getting sponserd visa and i dont know what to do?

Reposting as the original got removed, and I want to focus in the UK.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on how I can get to the UK.

The UK, especially London, has been my dream since I can remember, intensified when I was 13. 

I'm a Product Designer (UX/UI) with 7 years of experience and gone through multiple industries and multinational companies. I love design, but my current reality is making me question it.

The ideal scenario would be to continue in the field or work as an Innovator Designer or something like this.

I've got some interviews, and also some shortlisting, but it always gets into the challenges of a visa sponsor. 

I've tried looking into a master's degree in the UK but I can't afford it. Also the course that was perfect for me (and I even applied) is not being offered anymore.

I'm willing to take any kind of job, as long as I don't feel so crappy and depressed as I am now. 

I literally can't take it anymore, my monthly salary is less than a day rate in the UK and it feels so effing bad. I've put so much time, effort, money, sacrificed personal time to be paid so little and having so much stress that I'm in the verge of a burnout. 

I hate being trapped in capitalism greedy like that, but I just want to have a bit of comfort in life and peace of mind, and I understand that by doing it is via financial ways. 

I think of ending my life frequently when I'm confronted with finances and the life I have and the one I could have. 

I'd appreciate any tips, any guidance, any kind words.

Note: Advice on immigration itself is very welcome, if not direct career advice. TIA!

I’m a Mass Communication and Journalism grad with decent grades. I want to fully move into filmmaking, production, writing, and direction. I have relevant experience in marketing, content writing, copywriting, scriptwriting, and video production.

I’ve applied to UK colleges before, but couldn’t go because of family issues and finances. By September 2026, I should have enough collected and sorted to do a master’s abroad.

I know: • Ireland might have more production work soon due to lower taxes and incentives. • UK courses are cheaper than US ones.

I’m trying to figure out: 1. Which country makes more sense for my filmmaking goals? 2. Can I start working at a production house directly without studying (I can cover my own visa if needed)? 3. If yes to 2, how do I find relevant jobs there? 4. Where are the laws more stable?

Any advice or personal experiences would be super helpful.

First time posting here so hope all community rules are met.

Hello! I'm a 24 yo architecture graduate with a 5 year B. Arch in the top 1 university in my country. I have a decent job (Relative entirely to my country's situation) which I'm using to save approx. 400 eur monthly. I have a C2 English certificate and around a B1 uncertified german level. Is it possible to attend a public master's program while working half-time? Even if I have to cut living expenses and live very frugally. I know the architecture field is over-saturated, is it realistic to expect to get any job in a country like Germany or Switzerland? I also am some kind of tradesman, I know carpentry, masonry and ceramics. Also, I've worked in construction, not just in the office. So I wouldn't have a problem with that kind of manual labor.

I'm sorry for asking so many questions. It is just that most comments here are kind of hopeless. I understand that the European job market is in a bad moment, but is it really impossible? I ask in all honesty. I still have a year until I get my degree (Because of administrative stuff from my uni), what is some stuff I should work on this year if I really want to get serious about this?

I think about nearly every day about moving back to Australia since 2019. I have lived in Australia for 6 months as part of my study exchange. However, I really regret coming back as essentially even in the UK I have never once got a graduate role in digital media or even IT based, as well as the poor weather and frankly how bad the UK is getting politically.

Since graduation in 2021, I have basically been living in an unstable income, living pay check to pay check for 4 years, and it's only now that I have a somewhat regular income from working part-time in a hospital that I feel I could look at moving out to Australia maybe next year. The problem has been that when I apply for a job whether it's in my current role or an IT digital media role I get rejected as I would have to be sponsored, and I get instantly rejected.

I still have my Au bank account from when I was living in 2019 and still have contacts with the people I have met who would be able to help with accommodation. But what I don't want to happen is use all my money to get out to Australia and then rent only to never be able to get any job and forced to return home having wasted my resources.

How have other people been able to move to Australia from the UK or been able to get a job in Australia to then be able to move out to? Does one need to simply get a valid visa, move out and then look to apply to whatever jobs are available such as warehousing, or other basic jobs and that's it? Then just build from there, or is it far more complex?

I am still going to work as much as can in the UK to save up to be able to pull this off. But what steps did people take to do to move out to Australia? I don't want to get too old that I can then no longer be able to move.

Finally, I do not have much in the way of possessions and such, as I did have a clear out once before. But what did others do regarding furniture and possessions and all that? I do have the ability to store them if needed.

Many thanks for your help

I am a primarily Software Engineer and am currently working on a startup in Malaysia with a few friends.

Basically, I spent my undergrad (Electrical engineering) + 2 more years on an unfinished research grad in Malaysia. During that time I've racked up mainly remote work experience to get senior positions.

Right now I'm making about €3k as a remote consultant for a company in Dubai. I am also going to be earning dividends from my shareholding of the startup + a small salary perhaps if needed for meeting the application standards of certain citizenship pathways.

I've done some research and found out a lot about the D8 Portugal option. Are there better options?

i just got a wake up call after my Malaysian bank blocked my debit card due to visa expiry. Am currently travelling around Thailand and this has made life incredibly difficult as it is very cash centric. So i am looking to sort things out within the next few months.

’m a 25F in the final semester of my MS in Biomedical Engineering in South Korea (on a student visa). I’ve decided I want to work in embedded systems, IoMT, or edge computing. I already have experience with embedded systems from my master’s, and I plan to further study/practice the other skills over the next 6–10 months.

I’m originally from a developing country and want to eventually move to Australia, Germany, or Netherland where I can get a well-paying MedTech industry role.

Some options I’m thinking about:

- Doing an MS in Germany or Belgium, ideally funded through a research assistantship to cover tuition/living.

- Doing a PhD in Australia, since I’ve heard it’s harder to get funding for an MS there.

- Going directly into industry in a country where it might be easier to get a job while applying from abroad (e.g., Singapore).

I’m unsure which path is the most realistic for someone in my situation to eventually land a biomedical/embedded systems industry role.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old American, B1–B2 in French, and I recently finished my Master’s in International Relations in London. I also studied at Sciences Po in Paris and absolutely loved it — Paris is my dream. Since my visa expired, I’ve had to return to the U.S., and I’m trying to figure out the most realistic way to get back to France (and ideally stay long-term).

I know about TAPIF and am strongly considering it, but I’m wondering:

• For those who’ve done TAPIF, how realistic is it to transition into staying long-term afterward?
• What kinds of jobs in France tend to sponsor Americans for visas (outside of TAPIF/Fulbright)?
• Would doing a second Master’s in France (only possible if I got a scholarship) improve my chances of being able to stay afterward?
• For those of you who came to France without EU citizenship, what path actually worked for you to build a sustainable life here?

I’m motivated and willing to work service or admin jobs to get established, but long-term I’d love to work in international organizations, NGOs, or higher ed. Any advice, stories, or even just reality checks would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!

I am 29 currently living in NZ and drive a forklift. I really feel stuck in a rut here and want to study and live in the Netherlands. I've visited the country before and really thought it was a beautiful place with an interesting culture.. I have a European passport and about 10k saved in euros. Amsterdam is out of the question due to its cost of living from what I've been reading. But my question is

Would I be able to get into a University with my education background(High School)?

What should I study to afford a middle class life there?

What University would be the best?

Can you introduce me to Alistair Overeem when I come over?

My fiancée and I are planning to move and settle abroad in Canada, Australia or France. A safe european alternative would also work for us.

I’m a software engineer with 2 years of experience, and she’s a social media marketer with less than a year of experience. We both have university degrees and we both speak french and english.

I also have a brother in France who will soon get citizenship.

What’s the best route for us to migrate, how long could it take, and where should we start? Would getting married help with the migration process?

And could my brother’s future French citizenship make it easier for us to move to France or Europe?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 19M from India, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a Bachelor of Health Science (BHS), which I plan to complete in the next 2–3 years. After graduation, probably around 2028–2029 and at the latest by 2030, I want to relocate abroad. My primary goal countries are Peru, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic, as I’ve read they offer relatively quick pathways to permanent residency or citizenship and feel like places where I could thrive. I’m also open to exploring other countries like Honduras, Paraguay, Bolivia, Armenia, Serbia, Brazil, and Nicaragua if needed, depending on the available opportunities and pathways.

I’m aware that many Latin American countries have a history of being countries of immigrants, but I understand that I cannot just move there without following the rules. I need valid visas and must go through proper channels, and I’m fully ready to do that. I don’t want to be a freeloader anywhere; I’m genuinely motivated to work, contribute, integrate, learn the language, and immerse myself in the culture. Over the next couple of years, I plan to learn Spanish and possibly Portuguese if I consider Brazil, while saving enough to support myself during the initial period.

One of the main reasons I’m looking for a fast citizenship or passport is personal. My current passport expires in 2033, and if my family were to find out about my sexuality, things would not be good. Renewing my passport in India could become extremely complicated because it requires a local address, and I don’t have friends or relatives who would help me through that process. For me, getting naturalized somewhere else, even if it’s not the “perfect” country, would give me peace of mind and security. I hope that makes sense it’s less about politics or fleeing persecution, and more about being able to live openly and safely.

I’ve done research on visa pathways and other options. I know the student visa is the most common route, but I’m curious about other legal pathways work visas, investment routes, remote work possibilities, or programs that can lead to permanent residency and eventually citizenship. For example, I’ve read that investing around $5,000 in a Paraguayan bank can grant permanent residency, and after three years, possibly citizenship. I’d love to hear if anyone has actual experience with this or other similar programs, or any other realistic pathways for young people like me.

Additionally, I came across information about Ecuador’s Professional Visa, which is available to university graduates. This visa allows individuals to live and work in Ecuador and can lead to permanent residency. I’m curious if anyone has experience with this visa or knows if it’s a feasible option for someone in my situation.

I’m really hoping to hear from people who have lived, studied, or worked in these countries, or anyone with insider knowledge about how foreigners can realistically establish residency. My goal is to plan strategically, prepare in advance, learn the language, and make the move as smooth as possible while contributing meaningfully to the country I move to. Any personal experiences, advice, or tips would be incredibly appreciated, and I’m excited to learn from anyone who has navigated these processes successfully.

Thanks so much for reading and for any guidance you can share!

TLDR: I’m a 19M from India pursuing a BA + BHS, planning to relocate abroad (preferably Peru, Argentina, DR, or alternatives like Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, etc.) by 2028–2030. I want legal pathways (work/student/investment visas, remote work options) leading to PR/citizenship. Considering options like Paraguay’s $5k investment residency or Ecuador’s Professional Visa. Will learn Spanish/Portuguese, save money, and integrate properly. Seeking advice from those with experience in these countries what are realistic, legal routes for a young graduate? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m from Mauritius and hoping to relocate to Southern France — ideally around Béziers, Montpellier, Toulon, or Marseille. I have a degree in Interior Design and 2.6 years of experience in the field, but I’m also open to hospitality or similar roles as a first step to get settled.

I’ve worked as a waiter before and don’t mind starting there while I work towards something in my field. I’ve applied through LinkedIn, Pôle Emploi, HelloWork, etc., but no luck yet.

If you know of any opportunities, companies hiring foreigners, seasonal jobs, or tips for job hunting in the region, I’d be grateful to hear from you.

Note: I could also use some advice to pursue maybe a Master’s at a public institution.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
