What is an easy (yet relatively nice) country to move to?

You cannot "move" to another country without getting residency visa in advance, and that is going to be a problem for you practically everywhere. If you want to travel, visit for a bit, explore - not permanent residency or employment - some countries have 30 or even 90 day visas which give you a real chance to explore various countries. Ecuador has become quite popular. Costa Rica allows up to 90 days - friends actually did move there and love it.

Contrary to one person's post, Belize does NOT offer "economic citizenship." That is a scam making the rounds on the i'net.

Get a copy of The Passport Book by Bob Bauman (amazon and elsewhere). Also check out escapeartist.com for lots & lots of info! Go to your public library and start reading travel guides for background, etc, and decide how much money you have for your trip, where you want to go, your itinerary, etc.

Usually (certainly not always), the poorer a country is, the easier they'll be on immigration, especially if it's going to be temporary like yours. Again, usually, (this time almost always), the more a country feeds on tourism, the more foreigner-friendly they'll be.

Those taken into account, many countries in Eastern Europe would give you what you need. Most of them will let you renew your temporary residence permit indefinitely as long as all you ask for is something temporary, and you don't commit any crimes. They're also relatively cheap, and they won't be too different from the USA. Still a different experience, but nothing to choke you with a huge culture shock.

If you're planning to live on your savings (I assume so, considering you want a cheap country), Balkans could be pretty good for you. A safe, cheap, and expat-friendly country with relatively lax immigration regulations is Macedonia. If you want a more vivacious place with bigger cities and such, you can try Serbia. Other countries that meet the above definitions are Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic,and Croatia. But your budget will have to be a little larger for those. If you want a dirt cheap place and don't care that much about anything else, Albania and Georgia could do it for you, but be warned, they're not always perfectly safe for a foreigner who doesn't exactly know what he's doing.

If you're planning to work like an average local person in your new country, then you should definitely consider Turkey, Czech Republic, Hungary and Ukraine before others, as it seems to be almost a preference to hire foreigners over natives in those countries.

As far as outside the western world is concerned, a Swedish friend of mine with your mindset and online poker as his only source of income, is contemplating a permanent move to Philippines. I don't think he picked the country by shutting his eyes and randomly poking a spot on the map, so it's something to consider.

South American countries like Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil also seem to be pretty decent candidates for what you're pursuing.

Look into a foreign student exchange program. You'll have some infrastructure to help with the immigration wrinkles, and you'll know if you want to stay longer. One country that I've been to and like is the Czech Republic. Clean, modern, not as spendy as western Europe, relaxed and fun. Plus you'll try the original Budvar, the Beer of Kings. Good luck!

See there is a little problem for you and your friends. Unless you are planning move to US of A, any other country require knowledge of their local language. You still can be a tourist and know only English, but you can't became a citizen of this country without knowing the language.

Another problem is that, Unless you move to US of A, no other country has that much open immigration policy. You have to get married, have very close family, or be born in that country to move there as a citizen. Many countries don't even recognize any of these 3 things above once you move out of it.

So yes it is much harder world out there, than US of A.

You can move to any country as a tourist, that would be relatively easy and relatively nice. Sorry, you can't work in most of the countries if you are tourist (unless you are female or a male open for bisexual relationships).

The only place might take you relatively easy is Antarctica. They don't really care about your nationality, language or sexual orientation, as long as you can work hard. But it is hard to get there, it is also hard to get out.

right here are not unavoidably "undesirable" neighborhoods in Colorado Springs, purely distinctive. a while of residences variety from over a hundred years to type new. on the north end of city (above Woodmen Rd), you will in many situations locate extra moderen residences, in school district 20 it particularly is fairly nicely acknowledged. The east fringe of city (east of Powers Blvd.) is commonly extra moderen, the neighborhoods are packed in tighter, yet has great accessibility to shops and eating places. Pine Creek is fairly valuable, yet extra costly than different neighborhoods surrounding it. It additionally has an exceedingly strict property vendors affiliation which a lot of my pals locate borderline offensive. college District 20 is a thank you to pass. District 11 is the biggest, yet is having many investment problems presently and District 40 9 (interior the east portion of city) is to no longer boot acknowledged. stable success on your flow! it particularly is a captivating place to stay.

Belize! I read a news article a few months ago that discussed "Economic Citizenship" for foreigners in Belize. Basically, you can "pay" for a citizenship.

Besides that, its tropical and an inexpensive country.

South American countries like Brazil, Colombia, are your best bet

well, there's Italy, France, Russia, England, Spain, Australia and a bunch of other countries I can name that I dream of going to and would be really adventurous.

Maybe Ireland?
