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 aspire to do the same! Hoping to escape to Australia one day from the US.

    What sort of costs did you see completing higher education in Aus as an international student? I am currently going for a Bachelor’s in the States in an industry that is on the Aussie in-demand list, thinking of seeing if I can get a job with an Australian employer or continuing my education in Australia after finishing this degree.

    Feel free to ignore me BTW.

      Australia can be expensive as an overseas student as government subsidies local students. I believe if you look at places like Adelaide or Perth it’s easier to get permanent residency, especially if you’re happy to be in a regional area

        Perth (and WA in general) has been near the top of my list since searching about this stuff. Second would be between somewhere in Tassie or Melbourne. Got a lot of research to do.
