Dear Sanjeev,

Since you did not mention having any Spanish-language capability, I will presume that you have none.

As a person of working age, it seems likely that you would need to know the language of whatever country you move to.

Ipso facto, I would recommend that you look into English-speaking countries, of which there are scores around the world.

Google:  wikipedia.com countries where English is spoken.

FYI... Ecuador is experiencing budget and oil-industry difficulties and employers here give preference in hiring to Ecuadorians and those who speak Spanish.

Dear Sanjeev,

My knowledge of ease-of-relocating to foreign countries .. is basically limited to the only country to which I have personally moved:  Ecuador.

It's unlikely that the "spoken Spanish" you would learn would be enough to make you employable in Ecuador during the first year.  Remember, you're competing with job-seekers who have been speaking and writing Spanish all their lives.  You'd be bucking an entrenched attitude against foreigners coming to Ecuador to seek jobs for which Ecuadorians are qualified.

Upon further reflection, I am dubious that being an extremely easy country to re-locate to .. is anywhere near an adequate reason to move there.

What if Afghanistan was the easiest country for re-locating?   I still wouldn't consider it.

What about Oman with its heat extremes?  Forget it.

Mexico, with its violent history.  And lack of casinos with table games.  Puh-leeze.

Central American countries with street crime.  No thank you.

Sweden, with its long gray winters.  Pass.

Israel, with hostile neighbors all around.  Not going.

Venezuela, with 808 percent inflation and intolerable crime statistics.  Not happenin' !!!

If places are easy to get into, then  there are probably bad things going down.  About 1.3 million Filipinos are working in Saudi Arabia, many of them women.  It is a terrible place to live and be a woman, even non-Muslim ones must follow the dress and behavior codes.  Unfortunately many in the Philippines need the work and don't have a lot of other choices.

I just found an article stating that Ecuador will change the visa policy for Cubans Dec 1 2015. This will require Cubans to now have a visa to travel to Ecuador. The no visa days for Cubans into Ecuador will be over.

It has come at a surprising time, as an influx of immigrants are headed North through Central America to the U.S. Ecuador is now the second country to provide a road block for people moving North. I find this move of interest as the Government of Ecuador has little love for the U.S.

It would seem Ecuador understands the impact of immigrants moving through Ecuador.

I would think Ecuador would be more concerned about Cubans NOT passing through, but rather fighting the locals for jobs and housing based on recent stories reported here.  That the USA may benefit from such policy comes under the heading of unintended consequences,  no one  would accuse Ecuador of helping  the USA on purpose.

That is what I found so odd about it. Especially, if it would be off benefit to the U.S. It just seems odd to me.

The interesting bit will be what happens in 2016... It sounds like it will be a tumultuous year at best. With the current state of the world, the mass migration/immigration, ISIS, Iran, China, OPEC, Obama Care, SSI etc. It is enough to make your head hurt.

I saw yet another report talking about even more health care providers closing shop. I guess they should have read the bill before they signed it. It was underfunded to start with, and now again the people will pay the price.

It appears the entire world is suffering from the "Burning Boat" syndrome.

Millions are trying to flee to any country they can. The problem is, the destination may be worse in the long run. Things are changing in major ways, people really need to "Pause" and seriously consider their actions before leaping headlong into a situation which can yield disastrous affects.

What is happening now will have an impact on current and future immigration processes. Countries are now being forced to take measures to protect their society and cultures. While it may be relatively easy to "Go", the prospect of staying and being able to sustain a productive life is another matter altogether.

Let's not forget the whole Russian incident that just occured. Not sure if anyone has ever listens to Dan Carlin. He does podcasts called Hardcore History, and Common Sense. The guy does great work. Most all his stuff is on itunes, and also has some stuff on youtube. Well worth a listen if you enjoy history. Here's a link to an episode not to long ago called re-heating the cold war. He really breaks it down. This Russia incident could have some serious consequences.

This is the type of news story that needs attribution as it's a significant policy change.

According to Associated Press....

Ecuador announced Thursday that it will begin requiring Cubans to get visas to enter Ecuador beginning Tuesday, seeking to discourage the flow of immigrants.

Deputy Foreign Minister Xavier Lasso said Ecuador wants to curb the movement of migrants who have been using Ecuador as a transit point to reach other nations without permission.

The AP article points out....

Latin American nations met a few days ago to discuss what to do about 3,000 U.S.-bound Cubans who are stranded at the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border.

Just when I thought things could get more interesting.

I have seen a couple of articles of interest; one says that Cuba requested the U.S. stop the "Wet foot dry foot" policy. Obama naturally declined. Meanwhile 3,000 or so and counting are held up between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Reading a new article today at The Washington Post's online site has prompted me to revive this long-dormant thread from 2015.

The article is titled "Weary from political strife and a pandemic, some Americans are fleeing the country."

Besides interview excerpts quoting Expats, soon-to-be-USA-Expats and international observers, the Post article relates this factoid based on IRS data...

5,816 people gave up their USA citizenship in the first six months of this year, 2020, almost three times as many as renounced in the same period last year.
