    Good luck getting a visa to enter. You can’t just decide to move there, you have to have a reason: a job offer (requires 4 year degree, yes they call your university and check, the days of phony diplomas are long over), become a student (nobody over 30) or be married to one of their citizens.

      become a student (nobody over 30)

      This is not true. You can do language programs or masters/phd programs above that age. Some countries (like Russia) don’t have age limits at universities.

        I have never once heard of a degree program that actually prevents people under 30 taking the course. People over 30 are less likely to in large part because they tend to have more responsibilities that make studying harder

        That’s the gist of it for many countries. Some countries have special programs with the US (like Norway or some other snow country), but the funny thing is that the program seems to benefit Americans much more because it allows Americans to become residents quick and all you need is some sort of small business you can easily cook up as a contractor. But as far as I know, they don’t get the same benefits if they go to the us
