10. Argentina
You want a wild and diverse country to move into? Argentina is just waiting for you to discover its God-given beauty. Migrating to Argentina is a piece of cake. For Mercosur citizens (residing in South American countries), if you don’t have any criminal records for a minimum stay of five years, you’ll automatically receive a visa and a freedom to work in the country. What are the perks? Argentina offers you universal access to healthcare, education, free legal representation, and the right to family reunification. A piece of cake immigration process in exchange for a whole cake shop- only in Argentina, people.
9. Brazil
The fifth largest country in the world is also one of the easiest countries to immigrate to. Business folks would even love to live here for Brazil has a strong economy. Oh wait, it’s outrageously performing well in global economics. Plus these lovely perks: the warm sun and the beach. I don’t mind leaving my country for Brazil! Because wherever you go here, you’ll definitely find a place to fit in.
8. The United Arab Emirates
The oil-rich country is one of the easiest countries you can reside into permanently. The country is in need of massive manpower to fill the gaps of high employee demands. It mostly attracts Asian overseas workers who later on decide to settle down in UAE. With all the high-rise buildings and overshooting businesses, can we dub UAE as the ‘concrete jungle’ of the Middle East?
7. Sweden
Sweden offers a sweet deal when it comes to education. Do you want to know how? They provide free-cost education and students in high school are paid monthly to go to school with an amount of US$ 185! This serves the top reason for the huge amount of migrants who wish to be a part of Sweden someday. The immigration process is so easy in Sweden that you can just do the application over the internet. This applies to applicants who have connections with a Swedish or any legal resident of the country. And of course, if you’re in a legal age of 18 and possesses a valid national passport.
6. Italy
If you’re ready to be a part of a rich and unique cultural history of Italy, go ahead and make a move. All you need is to process your visa and necessary documents and you’re up as a legal migrant. Establish yourself by buying or renting out a house. Italy is the tourism melting pot in Europe. But it hasn’t really bounced back yet from the 2008 crisis. But think about the gelato, and the authentic pasta and pizza, a shot of espresso, cute hunks, and gypsies! Italy, here we come!
5. Norway
If you want to live in a place where you’ll meet happy and easy going people who don’t shoot or steal, Norway is the perfect country for you. With a picturesque landscape, high standard of living, yet free tuition fee in schools, I don’t think you can ever go wrong in picking Norway as the country you’ll immigrate to. Not to mention that Norway is the modernized wonderland.
4. Australia
The Land Down Under is not only one of the countries you can easily migrate to but also a safe place to call your home. It’s the land of your ‘goals in life’ rather than dreams. Pristine education, premium pay even for the apprentice, top medical facilities, and the adorable Aussies, I could not ask for more than Australia! Most of the immigrants have found awesome job opportunities here that provide stability. And, for some, they have found the love of their life. Aww!
3. New Zealand
New Zealand is looking for younger population of workers. That’s probably their reason for allowing immigrants to move into the country. For its country size, New Zealand still has a small population of only 4.5 million compared to other countries such as Australia that houses 23.1 million people. Owning a land in New Zealand is cheaper. If you intend to put up a business here, there’s a big possibility that it’ll work out for you. As per a report by Foreign Policy in 2010, New Zealand is one of the best countries to immigrate to for its booming economy.
2. Belgium
You didn’t see that coming, right? Belgium is the second most accessible country for immigrants that grant the most citizenships per capita in the world. It is also the number 1 distributor of chocolate and diamonds on Earth. So, why would anyone not want to move to Belgium? Anyway, you can easily process a residency visa in Belgium as long as you have a working permit. If you’re still looking for a job, the immigration office will grant you a temporary visa. Belgium may be a tiny country yet it offers you the best of both worlds- chocolate and diamond anywhere.
1. Canada
Yes, Canada is still the favorite place on Earth for immigrants for it’s the easiest country to immigrate to ever since. As for most of the countries on the list, as long as you’re a skilled person and is willing to learn, employers would take you in to be a part of their business and eventually, lets you move into Canada. The country offers countless opportunities for skilled workers from each corner of the world. A high-paying job, low tax and inflation rate, top-quality health and education systems, what more can you ask? Canada is the best place on the planet for you to move into!
