  • Definitely tough for a person in that age group, although the other comments gave good advice.

    In general, I’d say the options are:

    • A student visa hoping you can turn it into something more permanent later
    • Work visa - self-explanatory, find a job in the target country that will sponsor your visa
    • Critical skills visa - some countries will offer visas to people in certain fields because they have a shortage in that industry.
    • “Join Family” visa - some countries might offer visas to extended family, so if you have family somewhere else you can join them. They’ll probably have to prove they can provide for you, at a minimum.
    • Spousal visa - i.e. if you marry someone overseas or are married to someone who already has dual-citizenship, you should be able to get a visa to live in their country instead.
    • Get citizenship via ancestry (depends on country, but usually has to be a parent or grandparent who has citizenship already)
    • Apply to be some kind of refugee - almost certainly not applicable for the US yet though

    Some countries might have even less restrictive options, but those are the ones I’m aware of in most western countries.



  • I watched this video awhile ago about 3 Yale professors leaving the U.S. because of the rise in fascism.

    From that video, Marci Shore, Historian of Totalitarianism:

    There’s an expression in Polish: “I found myself at the very bottom. And then I heard knocking from below.” In Russian that gets abbreviated to “dna ne sushchestvuet” - “there is no bottom”. What starts to matter, is not what is concealed, but what has been normalized. There’s no limit to the depravity, and the sadism, and the cruelty that we are watching now play out in real time.
