Imigration is harder than people think. 

Did you visit here before? I really think is a good idea to you to visit any country before deciding to move (if applicable).

US is not a Magic Place like people shows on TV.  Can be super depressing too hahaha like any other place.

 

Good luck 😊

It is indeed, I haven't been to the USA before, but I have lived abroad for a few years and experienced the ups and downs so I know its not always a bed of Roses. Travel and new places is a passion of mine and the set time that your allowed to stay doesn't feel long term enough for me to really feel out a place, at the end of the day if I didn't like it I would be moving onwards to somewhere else

Immigration is super difficult everywhere.

 

Since immigrating to Europe is now going to be a pain, and to other countries without treaties is even more a pain, consider looking into Commonwealth countries. Most of them have treaties with the UK.

 

Still, nothing is going to be as easy as when in the EU where you could just go live 3 months and try find a job.

I dont know of any country that will not ask you to have a job lined up, a school lined up, or a set of skills you can prove.

A little off topic of moving out of the UK and to the US (or another country) - but you could also potentially pursue a career path with a travel company or airline? Especially since you said you love to travel.

 

I have several friends from around the world that applied with either cruise lines and airlines like Qatar Airways, United, etc. Oftentimes the travel companies provide a working visa/greencard in a different country. I know these industries have taken a heavy toll from COVID, but hopefully as we slowly beat this pandemic, more opportunities will open up.

 

Best of luck on your journeys!

Seconding the search into Commonwealth countries, I have a UK friend that was able to pretty easily get a NZ visa and worked there for like two years. You have travel options, especially if you are open minded. Good luck.

Yeah that's what I did before I was able to secure seasonal jobs with accommodation included in Europe and just go, now all the job adverts are for 'eu nationals only' 

thanks for the suggestion I'll look into the Commonwealth

Oh really? that sounds good, did this friend need a degree or a lot of money to secure the visa? 

I'm not picky at all and very open to going anywhere really

That is a good idea, I will look into the criteria needed to apply for such jobs 

Appreciate the suggestion

Hey, this isn't exactly a fast process, but you can regain your EU citizenship by moving to Ireland (which you can do as a British Citizen) and living there for 5 years. Thereafter you can apply for Irish Citizenship which will give you your Freedom of Movement back within the EEA. No special skills, education or job needed. Hope this helps.

I didn't know that, if all else fails this is still an option, thank you for that

He's only got his leaving cert I think (or whatever the UK equivalent is), and I wanna say maybe 200 of NZ's currency? It's been a bit of time, but I recall also that he didn't need to get a job before going there, though that was his first task upon landing (he had already secured accommodation). Definitely don't take my hearsay as doctrine, do your own research. There are loads of people who work/travel though, so there should be a lot of info out there.

 

You might also look into WWOOFing or Workaway. I don't think those services help with visas/getting into said countries but it's an option (if you don't mind manual labor).
