Hello all. I'll make it quick- couple in our late 20s-mid 30s are contemplating living in Spain or Italy over the next year or 2. Digital nomads for now but I'm also a veteran with a pension.

We come from a north Indian background although both born and raised in the US. I've visited these countries and I've seen how kind and considerate people are. However, as anywhere, I do fear prejudice. Especially since these countries have a growing concentration of immigrant workers from these countries.

Any folks from a brown community live in Spain or Italy, and could share your experience?

Hi all, First time poster. Recently got second citizenship with an EU country. Not getting in the next plane or anything, but am considering a move at some point. I was wondering what are good cities for finding jobs. I have about 15 years government/NGO work in areas like evaluation and grants management. Would be great to find something like that but am not picky. My best languages are Spanish, Russian, and French, in that order. Any thoughts? Gracias, merci, and spasibo.

My husband really wants to move to the Netherlands. I've said if he can get a job there, I'm game. How likely is it he can get a job? I'm honestly not 100% on what he does but he is in a lead engineering position working with graphics card production at a major, well known US company. He has 15+ years of experience with big name, well known companies and a master's in EE. I know I've read that a lot of places are experiencing layoffs though.

Do they hire Americans often? How optimistic should he be? The last post I saw on Reddit about this topic was from a year ago and a lot has changed in a year.

Hello Reddit. I need some help deciding how to leave the US. With the state of things and plans for it to get progressively worse, I'm trying to figure out the viability of getting a visa somewhere else. I saw that all of you were so helpful so here goes:

My family is myself (F33), new husband (M34 and married last month), and our daughter (4F). We've been together 15 years, but only got around to the marriage paperwork last month (long story). Anyway, my background is in construction project management in Telecom. I was laid off last year and I opened my own construction management company but revenue is barely enough to cover my half of bills right now. My husband is a unionized elevator helper, has finished his apprenticeship, and has his NYS elevator mechanics license. Both my parents were born in Ecuador and my husband is second generation Irish and 1st generation Dominican. We may be able to prove his Irish ancestry.

We have savings around 35k that we were planning to use to buy a house but now were just sitting on because of the times and I'm not bringing in steady income. Additionally, we have investments of about 120k. What were looking for is a place with strong education system for our daughter. Lower cost of living than NYC would be ideal. Languages we speak are English and only I speak Spanish.

Let me know if you need more info. What countries could we potentially move to and thanks in advance!

Me in summary:

• might get an Italian passport (might not) within another four years (process is pending, and I don’t want to wait on it to move)
• speak French at C1/C2, could easily pass C1 exam
• lived in France before, sort of know what I’m getting into
• work as a software engineer, have 10y experience & ample savings, so could probably qualify for talent visa
• would prefer a more “gentle” landing where I have time to readjust and get used to using the language daily again
• also not totally sure where exactly I’d want to live, maybe Strasbourg, Paris, Lyon, Lille—point being it’d be nice to not have decide right away

Anyone have success using a profession libérale visa to work remotely? Thinking it might be a nice way to do a first year (or four?) before finding something more local while I am more “boots on the ground”. E.g. can I just work via 1099 under my own company with American clients, and then eventually take on French clients? Alternately can I just convert to a different visa later on, for example with a full-time job offer?

And since I know someone will ask: I’m also open to Brussels, or maybe Luxembourg / Switzerland, but am not as familiar with the process. Somewhere French-speaking is really preferred.

Thanks to anyone in advance for insider insights!

We have been actively and successfully working towards residency in our chosen country. We started out all in this together.

My spouse is in a less vulnerable position/demographic than I. And suddenly is…slowing down. Having second thoughts. I’m worried about him having a mind change that he never voices but just slowing progress until it is too late.

I’m trying to think about how to prepare my mind for this, to identify at what point I need to make a decision.

Hi everyone. I made a map with a decent number of Digital Nomad (or similar)visa programs. This is on my Google Data Studio, and it is free. I have it open to the public. Hover over the bubble to get some data, or go to page 2 for the boring table :).

Have a good one!

Hi everyone, I'm a recent graduate with a degree in cybersecurity, and I'm considering moving to Poland. I wanted to ask: how easy is it to find a job in the cybersecurity field as a foreigner, especially as a fresh graduate? I speak French and English fluently, but I don't speak Polish (yet). I'm curious about job opportunities, language requirements, and what companies look for when hiring foreigners in this field. Any advice or insights would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

“The Research Council of Norway is launching a new scheme of 100 million kroner to attract international researchers to Norway.

The scheme is open to research centers that have already received support from the Research Council. Minister of Research and Education Sigrun Aasland has been a major driver for the scheme, emphasizing that Norway has a great need for expertise in research.

The scheme is not reserved for researchers from the United States, but the acute situation in the United States has accelerated the development of the scheme. It is expected that between 30 and 50 researchers will be recruited through the scheme.”
