A lot of airlines now won’t carry large pets that can’t fit under a seat, having looked into it recently. Op would need to take a boat ride to take a medium or larger dog unfortunately. But even if they did still take large dogs, I’d probably never put mine in the cargo compartment

Check the /r/amerexit community. If you’re series about leaving you’ll need to immigrate somewhere. It’s not easy but it’s doable.

Probably going to need to leave your firearms behind though lol.

Good luck comrade.

This, tbh also IMO (while I don’t know anything to contribute) it would be really nice if c/movingtonorthkorea on the grad had actual info on the subject too…

Tbh making a free reddit account is a small price to pay for advice on how to leave a country… Like I get not wanting to be on but it’s to save your own life.

Go to mexico or something - it should be easier for american citizens? right? Because europe is busted and the AES states are difficult to migrate to.

I think the problem is being able to find work there without in-demand skills to get an employer to sponsor a work visa.

I know someone who moved to Mexico and lived off their social security money. They lived pretty well, but they had trouble dealing with social security remotely and their benefits were cut off. Even in the wealthyish expat community they were in they couldn’t find enough off the books work to live.

My dad tried this. He had to travel back either twice or once a year to keep social security up as basically a paperwork trip, which ate up some of that social security cash

Selling your firearms, 7k USD in South America is enough money to fly here and pay rent and food and utilities for a year at least, plus new furniture. Living meagrely that is.

Don’t expect a fancy shmancy neighborhood tho, just nice, but if you are able to get a work from home job from the US, a bare 1k USD per month allows you a good life, health insurance/whatever included.

No idea how expensive hormones and stuff are here,

The gray market is easier and cheaper to access in a lot of Latin America.

If it’s just you (and your dog as you mentioned in a different comment) I don’t think it should be too difficult. I don’t kow what languages you know, but even if it is only English you can still kind of coast by on the unipolar moment. Plenty of countries will still not really require Americans to apply for citizenship so much as just announce that they live there now. Unfortunately many of those are the Euro ones and where America goes, we go soon after, so it’s probably not a great idea to go where you will have the exact same problem again in five to ten years. Still, if you are serious about moving there should be plenty of countries in the world that will pretty much rubber stamp you for approval so long as you get out before you are actually legally stripped of all your rights, which still gives you some time.

Slight exaggeration for comedic effect, but because the US is such a rich country if their citizens announce that they would rather live and pay tax in your country, the process tends to be a lot easier. Not every American is rich of course, but as a rule they’re not gonna dive that deep into you as an individual person. I am, as I said, Eurotrash and can mostly speak for my own country, but I have never met or even heard of an American who was denied to stay for however long they wanted to. If an American applies for citizenship the quthorities pretty much just go “Well, that’s probably a net gain for us.” and approve it. And that’s not exclusive to the Euro countries, though as has been mentioned it might be difficult in countries like China where they would probably actually check.

It should be kept in mind that nobody has to do a lot of deep checking to find out you’re trans and decide they don’t like you because of that. A lot of times they can just look at your face and see it, and if not, your ID may not match what they see. And then you have to try to find a job there, because even if you’re moving somewhere that your dollars have relatively strong buying power, you aren’t going to live on that for more than a year at best. Hard enough to get a job as a trans person as a born citizen who speaks the language, I wouldn’t like my chances trying to get one as a foreigner speaking a second language.

what, is that really true? everything I have read (as a Canadian) makes it sound like a very strict process. But I don’t even have the funds to survive for several years in another country anyways, much less the desire to try to get hired at some minimum wage job in another country (if they’d even hire an immigrant lol)
