There are 9 life assets that matter when moving abroad:
Your citizenship, wealth, health, ancestry, age, education, skills, relationships, and languages.
All of us possess various combinations of these 9 life assets.
This is a realization I came to after obtaining 10+ visas / residencies in my lifetime.
The Universal Visa Guide helps you to:
- Explore >20 visa & residency types around the world associated with these 9 life assets.
- USE your life assets to move abroad and SURPASS the limitations you may have.
- Get a sanity check on whether moving to another country is the right answer after all. What will you gain... or lose?
