    Luckily, my country can’t do that. I can relinquish citizenship, but the government can’t remove it.

    Just look for a job and make sure you’ve got a visa. Third world countries have a lot more “informal economy” that isn’t taxed or handled with paperwork so it’s possible sometimes to just find a job without paperwork or anything, but that won’t help you get a permanent visa.

    Ideally, you get a visa that allows work, show you’re working, and then the visa gets upgraded to a permanent resident visa. This varies a lot from country to country. If you’ve got a job, some countries are pretty happy to have you adding to their local economy and will extend you a visa. If you’ve got a remote job that might go even faster.

    Alternatively if you’re not skilled in any way, you apply to a super cheap college and apply for a student visa, that’ll buy you a few years while you’re getting skilled in something that country needs. Studying to become a doctor, lawyer, or STEM goes a long way. One of these probably is in demand there, figure out which one and take a crack at it. Hard, for sure, but a pretty solid way to build something long term. Of course if you don’t know the language that will be harder, but colleges generally have language classes too, so that could be the first classes you take.

    There’s also teaching English, it’s generally not too hard to find work as a tutor or English teacher, I saw the other day like there’s only one English teacher for every 500 open positions. So that’s a possibility too.

    Just generally try to participate in their economy. Try to make local friends and assimilate. Think about what first generation immigrants do: find a steady job or bust ass studying tech or medicine.

    I work in healthcare and husband works in engineering. Hopefully we could live cheaply enough to survive on the $ we have and possibly be viewed as helpful enough to the community to gain some level of security.

    It really depends on which one. For many it’s just over. Others I look for community and attempt to ply my skilled and educated labor.

    Piggybacking off this, what is the legality of revoking a person’s sole citizenship?

        Denmark was supposed to have revoked her citizenship due to an administrative error surrounding whether her father was a citizen when she was born and that decision was reversed. She wasn’t the only one, and it had nothing to do with her comments on Facebook. The notion that she had lost her citizenship due to Facebook posts came from a reddit thread. That part was never true.

          I wrote a whole message for you and it was there and then it wasn’t. I don’t know what to tell you besides that.

            Well you should know, there’s a lot of bullshit on reddit and you shouldn’t believe everything you read there or anywhere else on the internet.

    I have two citizenships and permanent residency in a third country, so that seems unlikely. In the spirit of the question, though, immediately start drilling language and learning customs. If they have IT jobs, particularly in English, I’m already ready to work. I also have my own small farm so experience there as well. I’ve worked in many industries in my life, so I can jump into many things.

    The kicker is probably the legal side and then finding housing which just requires doing whatever is needed. I assume I have whatever assets I had, my phone, etc.

    I mean it depends on the country. Are Vietnam, Cambodia or Thailand third world? Central Asia? I’m surviving better here than I ever did in America. South America or mexico would be fine too.

    IDK if I could handle India or Africa or central America or Afghanistan or Pakistan.
