Wanting to move out of the US? (lemm.ee)

Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move there? How did you go about the process? What are some stories you can tell about the immigration process? Where can I start? How can I realistically make it happen? I hope this isn’t silly to you all, as it matters quite a lot to me and I’m genuinely interested in getting away from here for good. Thank you all for your time!

I'm not from the US but moved to Germany with an Italian passport and have had a great time so far.

Is it easier to move to Germany with an Italian passport? (Instead of something outside Europe)
I thought that Schengen implied that you could live there without questions asked, but I was wrong...

Anything inside the EU makes it really easy, people without citizenship need to go through a lot of paperwork to get a blue card.

The easiest way is probably to find an employer willing to sponsor you but that visa only lasts as long as you have an active job so it's still not ideal.

Right right! Another Italian citizen here

We'll see how it goes!

Good luck, just make sure you do your anmeldung asap.
