My wife and I are moving to Cordoba, Argentina in a couple months and we're going to settle down awhile while we pursue some degrees, learn the language, and maybe even start a little business if everything goes right.

I am trying to figure out the logistics of moving to Norway from USA with a chronic illness. I have Chron's Disease and have infusions of a certain medication at the hospital every two months. I'm worried that if I move to Norway I won't be able to have everything set up, see a GP, then a specialist, then start infusions in a quick enough manner.

Any insight into this problem is appreciated. I know it's specific, but I can't seem to find any helpful information anywhere. 

Hi, we (my husband and 8 year old daughter) currently live in Oregon and are planning to spend a year in Barcelona, probably in the l'Eixample area, starting in September 2023. Currently we homeschool our daughter and are thinking we will continue with that in Barcelona. However, we would like to find extra-curricular activities for her so that she can interact with other kids her age. She plays the violin and enjoys soccer. Does anyone know of any soccer clubs for her age that practice every day? Or any music academies that have a youth orchestral component would also be great.

We are thinking about relocating to Denmark from Jersey, CI (not New Jersey, US). My wife and I are both EU citizens (Irish and Polish). I am a lawyer, my wife is a teaching assistant.

I am completely new to this forum - but any information or advice would be welcome!

Hi there, I am moving to Athens later this year (2023) and bringing my 16 year old son with me. I would love any feedback, please, on the British International Schools in Athens as the reviews I am reading are quite mixed and so some on the ground experiences would be amazing!  If anyone has any feedback, good or bad, on St Lawrence's, Byron College or St Catherine's I would be SO grateful. Many thanks in advance, best wishes Nicola

Hello,

I'm planning to relocate to Poland from Lithuania. I received LT BlueCard 1 year ago and it is valid for 2 year more. As I learned from https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=LEGISSUM:4559508 it is allowed to change EU country after 12 months of working in a 1st country. If I understand correctly, if I have job offer from PL company, I can immediately move to Poland, start working and apply for PL BlueCard. Am I right? Do I need to apply for PBH visa in this case?

Hi everybody, 

My name is Cédric, 26 year old-man from Belgium working as a police officer in the capital city. 

Through some discussion with family and friends and because I've always had this kind of dream of living my life in the US, I began to think : "What would it be if I became a police officer in the US ?".

I saw a couple of months ago a documentary about a French guy who did this couple of years ago (but of course there is no way I can get my hand on this video again..) and it gave me the idea to start searching.

Hi.

I've recently received a job offer from a multinational company in Israel.

1. Academic : requires a degree

2. Non-Academic : No degree but specialised field such such as construction, chef, etc.

3. Manager or trusted employee (2 max per company)

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could share a bit of their experience with (Canadian) taxation while living in Chile.  How does it work? We're currently evaluating an offer in Santiago but realized that we might need to pay taxes to Canada while being there.  Any hints? tips? advice?  I noticed that the income tax % in Chile is way lower than in Canada and wondered if the other deductions (pensión and others) could also be part of the taxable income to report to CRA when filing your taxes.  Your help is much appreciated!

Hi,

I have just moved to Melbourne on a TSS 482 visa which is a sponsored visa by my employer.

Wanted to check on the skill assessment part of the step whole applying for PR in future.

Can we use a different job code while applying for the skill assessment test, the reason being that the current occupation code does not match my profile fully but then another code matches perfect.
