Does anyone have experience and/or advice for moving to and working in a foreign country?
| I moved to usa 3 years ago. That was kinda hard, because i didn't knew english back than, and still don't really know it. It's don't really forth it, because if you smart enough, you can earn money everywhere. So, if don't want to, don't do it.
| >>719282 And i forget. Most countries have different rules of permitting people in. So just do all documents and get the tickets.

I do want to. I really, really want to. Being able to live with my best friend would be a dream come true and I found a job there that's right up my alley and doesn't need former experience or college qualifications or certificates, and as a dropout who really struggles with getting through the school system a job like that is exactly what I need.
Yeah, I've read up on the visa for where I want to go and I can get a work visa for the first two years very easy.
| I'm also fluent in English, so I'll be able to communicate well there. To be completely honest I'm better at talking and expressing myself in English than I am in my native language, so language barriers won't be an issue.
| Well, good luck theme.
| learn the culture, make an effort to get to know the foreign neighborhood. no one will shun you got being so foreigner unless you keep to yourself

That's very true. My best friend grew up there and lives there, and he sometimes teaches me words or phrases that are more specific to that area, and pronunciations and stuff that are kinda different there than other places. I'm gonna be visiting him there for a little while before I get the work visa anyways, so I can get him to teach me more cultural stuff and maybe build some social relationships there with at least his friends who live there, maybe some more.
| The job I'm going for is also a social worker position, so it'll probably be difficult not to become familiar with people there when my job (most likely) will be one that's completely focused on interacting with lots of different people around the city.
| Here people often leave to do sessional work in the EU without any visas and then come back, using the time of the 90 day visa waver. I went only once but yeah when border guards ask if you can afford the stay you can show that you have a credit card. I didn't but told him my sister invited me so I'd stay at hers (which was true). He told me she should've send me a letter inviting me but still let me pass.
Borders are a fuck, so be prepared basically.

Ah, kk. I will be traveling by plane if I do so, but I will obviously still have to go through a few checks and controls, most likely. That's worth it though, and I'll make sure to have enough "proof" for them to not fuck with me.

| Hi. I'm very heavily considering getting a work visa to move and live in a different country than my current one.
Have any of you g/u/rls done that before? If so, what was your experience like and do you have any advice? Even if you haven't, what's your opinions on it and what are things I should think about/consider and look out for if/when I go for it?
Extra info: My best friend lives there and I would be sharing an appartment with him while living and working there.
