Trump won again. I'm done with that banana republic. I want to move to Germany. I am dual EU/US citizen thanks to my dad's birth in Ireland and self-made so don't need a job.

What about moving abroad without a visa? Online it says that you can move to Germany without one and then apply for a permit apon arrival

What are you talking about in the northeast I was paying 350 a month in utilities for a 1 bedroom apartment

How long does the process take to move. I'd like to move by the end of this year and I am going to talk to a immigration consultant about starting the process. I'm receiving help getting into an internship program and I have a place to live but I'm scared of the process. Do I have to wait long to move? I really want to move by July or August. I have a passport, birth certificate, and I'll have a few thousand saved by then but I'll be asking about what I need with the consultant.

[TheShaolin]

wow. that was very unhelpful. I feel like the only thing I learned here was if I want to move to germany i should be a freelancer, student, or doctor. I really was hoping for more details on how to live there.

Moving to Germany, what items will I not be able to buy there that I should consider bringing? I'm wondering about skin and hair products, medicines and supplements. And well as everyday items.

[sears_mechaniker_tyler]

So would it be hard to get a Workers Visa if i wanted to be a mechanic, and would this process be easier if i have dual citizenship?

[theneurospicymothertrucker]

Can a US citizen buy property like a home with the intention of living there?

[RedWhiskMedia]

Do you have a video on the ins and outs of living the digital nomad life? I'd love to travel for a year or two before deciding where to settle, but it feels really overwhelming at my age.
