Questions & Answers (5)
Will citizens of any country be able to use this guide?
Yes.
I know everyone has a different life situation, and this guide is designed to help you introspect into the things in your life you can USE to move abroad.
If you have a passport from a developed country and you can use it to move where you want to be, great, use it! (This guide will show you how.)
But if not, you can still SURPASS that limitation by using other things like wealth, languages, ancestry, your skills and education, and more. (This guide will also show you how.)
What does it mean to use my life privileges & advantages to move abroad?
Put simply, all of us have different life situations that make it easier or more difficult for us to move abroad.
These life situations are the combination of your citizenship, age, health, wealth, education, skills, languages, relationship, and ancestry.
This guide teaches you how to USE and STACK some or all of these factors to obtain a visa to move abroad.
What makes this guide unique?
In creating this guide, I don't give a one-size-fits-all approach, because I understand that all of us have different life situations.
This guide helps you introspect on:
- 9 privileges & advantages involved in moving abroad (your current citizenship, age, wealth, education, skills, health, relationships, language, and ancestry), and
- Over 20 visa and residency types associated with these life privileges & advantages.
I also include a section on why you should reconsider moving abroad to help you make a more balanced, rational decision.
Does this guide contain country-specific visa requirements?
I am confident that this guide covers >90% of the visa & residency types available around the world.
But, it does not provide you with the visa requirements for every single country, as that is only one Google search away.
One of the most challenging part in moving abroad is figuring out what are YOUR available options based on YOUR life situation.
Google can't give you that.
The focus of this guide is to help you look into the visa types available for your life situation, and then from there, it will be so much easier to look up country-specific visa requirements online.
Ultimately, how will this guide help me?
This guide will help you introspect on your life situation, and figure out what visa types you may be eligible for around the world.
I will also guide you to rethink what life advantages you will UNLOCK or LOSE by moving abroad to help you make a more informed decision.
The last thing you want is to spend (tens of) thousands of dollars to move abroad, only to realize it wasn't the right decision after all.

Hi, I'm Ryan.
Over the past 10 years, I've lived & worked in 5 cities across 3 countries.
I like helping others to move abroad, and helping them to decide whether they should.
