Yes.

Nothing too big. Got a job in Sydney so I hopped on a plane over.

Do you live in favela? Explain m8.

>>68854759
No, I don't live in a favela. But I don't live in a good neighborhood either.
I guess I don't really hate my country, it's just that there are other countries out there that are a lot better.

Yes

Sure, if you want

>>68855289
Tell us your story

>>68855324
Born in Czech republic, raised in Myanmar and Singapore and moved to america because a close family friend in America sponsored me and my family, so now I live in the US.

>>68855374
That's an interesting story.
And I guess you got lucky, that sounds like an amazing friend

>>68855436
Yea, pretty nice, I'm moving back to Myanmar or singapore after I get married

I came here from Peru, ask me anything if you want.

I'm getting the fuck out of Europe as soon as I can. It would be safer living in Namibia or Zimbabwe or South Africa.

This terrorism threat is no way to live.

>>68855572
but Finland is safe.

>>68854194
Came here from Haiti... on a boat.

>>68855572

>>68855568
What's your job? How did you get it?

>>68855535
Go with Singapore, since it isn't a 3rd world pre-industrial theocracy.
>>68855568
Have you acclimatised to the old world germs? I heard they can do a number on you Peruvians.

Also, every Peruvian I've ever met has been bro-tier. You guys are cool.
>>68855572
The terrorists don't even know where Finland is.

>>68855855
It is not as bad as they say.
>>68855772
I am a waiter in a bar, it sucks but it is better than Peru.

>>68855943
How long have you been working? What are your plans for the future? Is the job market in España as bad for yuppies as they say it is?

>>68854194
azeris massacred wholy my family in karabakh and some russian journalist dropped me of in georgia after that very bad times

>>68856078
Wew

Story time.

>>68855758
He is trying to scare me into stayin here

>>68856078
What? For real?

>>68855855
I actually like myanmar, it isn't bad, the roads are better there than here in the US and no one goes hungry, but the oppressive government is what sets me off

>>68856078
Tell us more.

>>68857431
Is your future wife willing to go to Myanmar with you? judging by your post, you are SE asian right?

>>68858586
Would you be bother if I decided to live in Sweden?

I came here from Croatia.

>>68858767
Yea, I have a lot of houses in Myanmar and other southeast nations so finding a place isn't an issue, my gf and I already go to Myanmar every summer and every break we have alre ready chance, she loves it there.

>>68859220
why the fuck did you do that.

>>68859060
Not him, but I don't think most people mind immigrants from Latin American countries in Europe. However, as you probably don't qualify as a refugee you'd need an official work/immigration visa.

>>68861463
>official work/immigration visa.
I hope this isn't very hard to get *-*

>>68859889
qts and easter heads. 10/10 would migrate

>>68861500
Don't know for Sweden, but here in France it can be a bit difficult.

There are 4 kinds of residency permits.
>Temporary ones
Only if you're a student, worker employed by a French firm, self-employed with activity in France, married/live with a French citizen.
>"Competence and Talents"
Basically if you've graduated from a top University.
>Extended residency
Very rarely given, mostly for refugees, stateless people, children and spouses of French citizens, or people eligible to French citizenship.
>Retirement card
Self-explanatory.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titre_de_s%C3%A9jour_en_France

Having an ID card on you is mandatory in France, so if the police catches you without it, they assume you're overstaying and they usually expel.

>>68861969
Basically impossible.
Fucking hell, I guess I'm stuck here in this shithole
Someone please save me

>>68855568

>>68862584
But how are you going to meet a french person if you don't live there?
I definitely want to start a relationship with the natives, but it's hard to develop a connection if you live so far away.

>>68854194
>Any Immigrants here?
Yeah
>Would you mind sharing your story?
Legally immigrated from Ukraine
>Was it hard
Kind of. Lots and lots of paperwork.

>>68862584
>>68862746
>>68862051
The plan "marry a French to stay" is not really good either, as the Judiciary Police has a brigade especially dealing with "Marriage blancs", ie people trying to obtain French residency/citizenship through marriage without a real relation, or worse, if said marriage was paid.

Take note that in these cases, it's usually the migrant that is protected.
I'm sorry for you Brazilians, it's a bit unfair that nice people like you can't go but we have so many shitty "illegal" migrants from other countries. You can always try to get a job as a Portuguese teacher.

>>68854194
>Any immigrants here on /int/?
Yes
>Would you mind sharing your story?
Families from Iran, its shit, left when I was too young to remember. Came to UK and later emigrated to the US
>Was it hard? I can't wait to leave my country
By this point yeah, the Iranian government was becoming increasingly batshit and my dad had to jump through a lot of hoops to get us out of the country. I guess it was worth it.

>>68863021
>Portuguese teacher.
I hate the language

>>68862756
>Kind of. Lots and lots of paperwork.
reeeeeee

I'm not an immigrant myself but my parents moved to Canada from Ireland shortly before I was born, and my wife is immigrating here from Colombia.

Immigration is a long, tedious process, especially from countries that Canada requires a visa just to enter from. It is doable. Your best bet is marrying a Canadian or if you're highly skilled and educated Canada looks very favourably on that. Beware though that your qualifications would likely not be recognised here. There are a lot of MDs and PhDs driving taxis and other menial work.

>Was it hard?
I don't know. It feels different. I walk on the street and I find it perfectly normal that I speak polish with friends and no one around understands us. At the same time, each time I visit Poland I feel weird, as if I was the foreigner. The fact that everyone around me speaks polish scares me a bit. Tbh I can easily imagine living anywhere in the world but Poland. I honestly felt more like at home when I was visiting Japan or Taiwan rather than Poland.

>What I actually find hard
My national identity. I spent half of my life in this country, and I probably will remind here, but definitely won't go back to Poland. But who am I? On passport I'm Polish, but I don't feel anything towards that country. Again, my stupid mixture of polish-northern irish accent makes it hard to blend in in the UK.

Curious, I'm almost done with finishing my education here in the usa, was going to return to mexico but never thought about going to europe.

Was afraid that I would get beat up by europeans because Im brown or get beat up by arabs for eating pork/drinking/having a good time.

>>68863591
Muslims vs. Sudacas, which one do you prefer?

still better than living here

Not after the past terrorist attacks and the future ones. Each side is hunkering down with their retarded views.

>immigrating would be hard

fucking kek'd

sign up for some bullshit uni program, get some bullshit job afterwards, if not enough $$ apply for some bullshit social plan whatever free money from the gov

that's literally it
check with the millions of others doing it, it's fucking easy, and they are waaay less likely to kick you out than, say, in US

>>68863582
She came to Canada on a student visa. We went to university together.

>>68864142
>sign up for some bullshit uni program, get some bullshit job afterwards, if not enough $$ apply for some bullshit social plan whatever free money from the gov

But is this legal?

Came from Bangladesh with parents when I was 7

Assimilated quickly because I went to an English speaking school

Planning to move out of this shit state after college. Lucky that my accent isn't too heavy

>>68864142
>>68864228
>>68864268
hells yes, how do you think most people get in here; I mean sure I make it sound awful, but a lot of (educated) immigrants end up staying because of their jobs and friends they make etc etc

I mean why would applying for university be illegal? they are actually very helpful in that, the whole process, getting you settled in and so on

note that you would need to have some money to live on during your education,which might not be a small amount for some, and then make sure to get a job

HOWEVER

they let you stay here (in the netherdutchies) for _an entire year_
depending on your field, you might or not need that ( I didn't because muh education and muh job offers during education)

as a reference:
education cost was negligible, like 1500 euro/year
housing was awful but you can get away cheaper, but you should budget for like 350-500 euros/month if you're a student
living expenses vary a lot, but cheapo lifestyle would put you at like 250-300/month but like I said, depends a lot on you

>>68859220

so... 600 euros a month? Shit!

>>68864268
>>68864390
tl;dr:
if you're smart, save up to roughly 10k and you have a good chance to emmigrate to yuroop

protip:
go to a less vocal country that's less likely to be blown up, which has a high standard of living (netherlands, norway, finland, maaaybe Austria/Switzerland)
it'll cost you more initially but much more worth it in the long run

>>68864483
yes
it's fucking awful and one of my top 5 disadvantages of life here

>>68854194
Fucking kill yourself already, you disgusting self-hating piece of shit
Have you ever considered that, maybe, you're so unsatisfied about your life here because you're are a fat useless unqualified NEET? No country will ever accept you like that and even I wish Brazil could revoke your citizenship and get rid of parasites like you.

>>68864751
do note that a lot of people that try to move to the nordic countries end up legitimately hating it due to the weather and constant darkness; if you're serious about this (I get the feeling it's a bit of an impulse thing atm) you should read into it a bit, talk to some people what living there is actually like

heck, lots of people from spain and such hate the weather here for real and I know quite a few people that moved back because the culture is quite different; this might sound like "eeeh I'll adapt" but it really is quite different after a while

and yes, emigrating legally and without leeching off of a country costs money, and it is made somewhat easy because
1. you spend your money there
2. highly educated -> better paid -> more money -> more money spent in that country

so at the end of the day, as much as everyone likes to bitch about herpa derpa immigrants, it is in a country's interest to attract intelligent people from outside; the country then doesn't have to bother raising them ($$) from scratch

>>68864654
not gonna disclose my manlet-ness! shamefur dispray
have no fucking clue why dutch people are so fucking tall, but I'm sure some Pure Race™ will tell us all about it

>>68864838
Why is this a problem, anyway? Are they going to turn you down because of that?

>>68864838
I never really notice it. Maybe because I'm 6'3 myself.
But like I said, there are also a lot of short people here (<1.75m)

>>68864142

>>68865116
>What are somethings that may make you less likely to be accepted?
shit grades
shit previous uni
complete lack of extracurricular activities (these can make up for below-average grades)

other factors:

>>68865170

I know people who've been here for 5+ years, some have families, they speak almost 0 dutch (which I hate and I think is despicable)
it's not that difficult really, just sounds awful the first year you hear it

nigga I'm typing my ass off here, you'd better fucking apply and do your own research afterwards I swear to god
I'm afraid to ask how old you are and what it is that you want to do in the future

Hey, nice thread OP.

I have a question to all of you, kind of related to the topic, but not exactly about immigration

Can you tell me what's your month budget as a student in your uni city or whatever?
How much you generally need to get by in your local city?
I mean, compared to the cost of living of other cities in your country and so on

I'm asking this because traveling to a place under a tourist perspective is totally different than living in a "normal" city as a student when it comes to your budget, so even if we're talk about the same country there's always a huge gap between the budgets and all of those issues

Thanks for your time pals

>>68865116
nah it's cheaper than the EU.
Even if it was considered expensive, the pay is high

>>68865306
South Germany:
400€ rent + 350€ parents + 200€ student job
Quite comfy life

Not an immigrant but considering moving to Austria when I'm done with college. Seems like it has a better long term future than many other euro cunts, I love the language, the climate is fantastic, it has a great history and I love the architecture.

How likely would an Austrian company be to accept a recent American cs grad and give him a work visa?

>>68865480

>>68865306
>Can you tell me what's your month budget as a student in your uni city or whatever?
I'm stiil trying to get my life back on tracks.
I'll do my best to get in the UFMG, which is free and quite good.

>How much you generally need to get by in your local city?
I'm not really sure, bro. I live with my mom *-*
She makes ~2k USD monthly.

You're vising from where exactly?

Came from Russia when I was 7.
So I didn't really do anything for that. Not sure if it was hard. Probably it wasn't.

>>68865480
>love the language
which language specifically?

I wish I could move to America

>>68865632
well it's Austria


so German

>>68865636
Let me take your place

>>68865632
Austro-Bavarian obviously

>>68865658
well that's my point. they don't really speak german there

>>68865671
But then I'd have to live in Brazil.

Fuck off you knew what I meant

>>68865690
pls do, nothing more terrible than a foreigner speaking bavarian/ austrian dialect

>>68865306
Currently I'm back living with parents for the final year of uni so I don't pay nor earn anything. Last year I was living on my own while doing a year of work placement.
I was paying £350 of rent for apartment, £40 for gas and electricity, and £20 for the internet. On top of that, maybe £100-150 for food each month.
As I was earning £1050 a month, each month I was putting about £500 into my saving account. But yea I wasn't parting or spending money on any unnecessary shit.

The rent super cheap especially considering that I was living completely on my own, but it wasn't in a major city and was super small. I guess in England I would have to pay few times that amount for a single room alone.

>>68865690
I don't follow?

>>68865636
Let me take your place instead, I'll take EU citizenship and you can live in the land of opportunity

At least you people who live in shit countries have an external problem that can eventually be fixed.
If you live in a good country but you're broken inside from the start and you only dig yourself into a deeper hole every day then you're fucked.

Just thought I'd let you all know that as long as you have at least an able body or an able mind you can achieve SOMETHING in life.
That's all. Going back to my cuckshed now.

If you are who I think you are, it's that most unis that have international programs require entry tests.

>>68865306
Expenses : 300€ rent, 200€ food (I shop at Aldi and the Uni's restaurant), 100 to 150€ for the rest.
My parents pay the rent and give me 250€ a month.

>>68865831

well true, i am not saying they are unable to speak german. sure they are able to speak german or english if they need to. but imagine him being in austria not being able to understand what people are talking about between themselves etc. and dialect is spoken on tv. movies etc. and once they recognize an american they will speak english not german most likely. but honestly that applies to germany as well.

>>68866093

I studied a year in Japan. My uni has an exchange program with a lot of universities, and I was lucky to be accepted in one of the most well known university there. Though I felt a tiny bit bad because I pretty much got in through the back door while all the other students had to pass crazy entrance exams some prepared since they were like 12.

Studied History and Political Science. I enjoyed myself, though I didn't like living in Tokyo and I felt a bit homesick sometimes. It was interesting to see different perspectives on subjects I had already studied.

Anyway, I'll graduate soon, but seeing all my friends who graduated being stuck in internship hell is scary. Thankfully one of my friends in Japan told me his father was looking for someone like me for his company, and that I should apply, that he talked about me to his father, and that the father was willing to give me a chance, despite my utter lack of experience.

So I applied, and we had a skype interview which went really well. So I'll see: having a decently paid job in a field where my field of study will still be relevant, in a country I always found interesting really sounds great.
