1. Australia
Australia’s immigration policies for expats may be a little more tedious, but once everything – and by everything, we say it to mean the paperwork, visa requirements, proofs, and potential job opportunity – moving to Australia is rather easy for American expats. What makes it top the list of the easiest countries for Americans to move to and work is mostly its availability of work for skilled professionals. Once you’ve proved your skills to the immigration bureau (which you can check beforehand through the Skilled Immigration points calculator), and filled up the paperwork, you’re good to go. Australia is in many ways cheaper than the US, but if you’re looking to bring your US brands to Oz, you’re going to be in some bad financial situation. What makes it ideal for American expats is its generally more laid-back lifestyle, great outdoors, and lack of language barrier problems (save maybe for Australian slang, which takes a while to get used to).
