I plan on moving there as soon as possible when I graduate high school. Real tired of America

Come to Ireland, the weather is mostly shite but global failures on climate change are making it very Mediterranean

[-] narp@feddit.de 16 points 8 months ago

Ireland is probably is a nice country to live in, but it's pretty ironic recommending it to someone wanting to come to the EU because of its regulations on big companies.

Ireland costs other countries 16bn a year by allowing those companies to evade taxes in the EU.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

How is Ireland's tax rate any different to Delaware's. Opportunity cost isn't the same

Jesus the heat at the moment.

[-] Hikiru@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I was planning on Germany, and I’ve recently met a German friend online which has solidified my choice

[-] Alonely0@mastodon.social 2 points 8 months ago

@Hikiru @Squizzy I live in Spain and I'm planning to move to Denmark or Norway in a few years. Heat is impossible to manage here, and the political system is almost beyond salvation.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen a mastodon account on lemmy

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

Where in Germany are you planning to go?

[-] Hikiru@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I’m considering Hamburg, it’s where my friend lives and I’ve heard it’s a nice city

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

Oh nice, than you'll be right in my neighbourhood. Hamburg is really nice and the northern Germans are the best ones (no bias of course :D).

Your visas are hard to get without a job, and the only jobs hiring foreigners are... big tech companies. I tried Ireland for years before giving up and going elsewhere.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 8 points 8 months ago

Some countries in EU offer Americans free education and easy work permits after graduation. I think Germany has program like that.

[-] Hikiru@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Germany is what I’m planning on but you need to have 11,208 euros (if I remember the number correctly) to prove you can support yourself for a visa to study there

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

Theres plenty of places that need workers, in the EU!

Depending on your education it will be easier or harder, of course (also which country you plan on going to)

France welcomes you with open arms, feel free to dm me :)
