As always, disclaimer that I’m not a US citizen.
You usually see quite a few people mentioning leaving the country if Trump would get elected, but how realistic are those plans?
Not to say it’s not justified with the prospect of Project 2025 (see the other thread), but seems like a huge life change that is probably not possible for most of the people.
I’m leaving.
IMPORTANT PSA: most people won’t be as fortunate as I am. Look into “digital nomad visa” options. These typically last six months to a year, and many countries have them now including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, and more. Requirements will be slightly different for each but it can be an option to escape while you figure out next steps!
That being said…
I’m very fortunate to have family wealth, a high paying, niche tech job, and contacts in various places around the world
Current front-runners are The Netherlands where I could “buy-in” or Japan, where my employer may be able to sponsor me
Following. How does one “buy-in” into the Netherlands?
Make approximately $1.2m USD investment in any combination of property, businesses investment, etc. You still keep the equity. But it’s basically “add money to the Dutch economy in this amount”
Good luck!
