“Commit Some Crimes, Go To Prison”: 40 People Share Where They Would Move To If Given The Chance
Everyone gets the so-called “travel bug” now and then, more often than not when seeing images of their friends' trips or just the wonderful cities and vistas other places have to offer. As is so often the case, there are a lot more dream destinations than there are time and resources to visit.
Someone asked “If you could move to any country right now for free and get instant citizenship, where would you move to and why?” and people gave their answers. A few focused on those hard-to-get citizenships while others just wanted a culinary upgrade. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts below.

Iceland. Less people to deal with.

And no mosquitoes. But the added bonus of aurora borealis. Shocked I had to scroll so far to find Iceland.

Had the chance to visit a number of years ago. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the people were friendly and incredibly good looking.

Canada
As an embarrassed American, I think I’d find it culturally familiar, more liberal, no Trump. I hear Vancouver is amazing too.
Traveling Lady Railfan 6 days ago
Vancouver is incredibly expensive especially for housing, although climactically it's pretty similar to Washington. There's a lot of amazing places in Canada and most of the population are within a couple hours drive of the USA so... There ya go!

Let's see, I live in a rundown small town in Northern BC and rent is astronomical. Vancouver and Vancouver Island is worse. So stay away if saving money is a goal. And honestly, I predict Canada to follow America in a few short years.

It can take years and you have to fulfill some pretty stringent requirements to be officially accepted into Canada. This post is about "magically" becoming a citizen. If this was possible Canada would be inundated with a million+ Americans right now!

As a Canadian who has also lived in the US, I do get very tired of hearing this. Canada isn't "Little USA" - culturally, the two countries share some similarities but when you actually live in the other country, it's much more different than you imagine. Plus American politics has a huge influence on Canada and on Canadian politics - Canada didn't decriminalize marijuana when it originally intended to because the American government was all up in arms that people they would classify as criminals wouldn't be classed as criminals in Canada and so would be able to cross the border into the US. Trump will have a massive impact on Canada, and you'll hear about it incessantly for the next 4 years. Plus it's really difficult to move to Canada from Americans I know who have tried (the operative word being 'tried' here; they didn't succeed and not because they didn't have the skills or the money). Being American doesn't give you the automatic right to live in Canada.
Janissary35680 5 days ago
"Being American doesn't give you the automatic right to live in Canada": What about vice-versa? As a kid I knew a lot of Canadians living in the US. Two radio DJs in the NYC metropolitan area were Canadian and frequently joked about it. It was a plot point in one "News Radio" episode IIRC. Have the rules changed?

XanthippeⓐWulf🇨🇦️️🇬🇧 5 days ago
I'm a Canadian who lives between Canada & the US as well. I was really surprised at how difficult it is to arrange citizenship between the US & Canada when I was exploring my options. I agree that many people from the US would find Canada vastly different than they imagined (it's not at all going to be like that one trip you yook to Whistler or that week you spent in Montréal)-- though the same can be said going the other way. I will caution you that it is stupid expensive to live in many places there. I'm from Toronto and it's pretty comparable to Vancouver in housing costs but I think the wages are a bit lower in Vancouver. My favorite quote is one I saw on reddit that said when it comes to cost of living "in Toronto you're fúcked and in Vancouver you're fúcked with mountains." So yeah, there's that.

Hands down - Norway.
Free healthcare, education. Nice clean air, no pollution. Friendly people. It is quite peaceful over there.
Anne Nyheim 6 days ago
In Norway you are absolutely entitled to second opinions, you are allowed to change doctors at will, use a private hospital if you like. And in my experience, if I call my doctor and tell them I am coming but is a little delayed due to traffic, they tend to say okay and take in the next patient while waiting for me. If traffic have turned so horrendous in England people should take that into account when going anywhere. Also, ambulances and ER are free as part of the health package. Sure there are malpractice cases here in Europe as in the rest of the world, but quoting one tragedy as a reason to scrap the entire system?

Scotland or Ireland. Pale, freckles and lots of curly hair. The sun hates me, and I prefer cloudy cool places. It’s ideal.
I am a female, I live in the American south, the weather is a humid hot bastard and I’ve been ragged my whole life about being so pale. I have a lot of Irish, Welsh, and Scottish ancestry, I would love to visit if nothing else.
DoubleDoubleTiredAndTuckered 6 days ago
I am also of mainly Welsh descent, and I can confirm that the sun hates ALL of me! It burns my skin, I can never get a tan, and I’m practically blind when it’s too bright. During the day, I’m almost always in the shade, and when I’m not, you can find me being annoyed at the bright light and squinting so much it’s a surprise I can see at all.

Ireland, it's just so damn beautiful.
TokyoRachel:
That's my pick. Fiance and I spent 9 days there in 2019 and it was the most magical place I've ever seen. The food, the people, the nature, the sights, everything was so lovely that I cried for days when we got back.
I know they're experiencing a terrible housing crisis and I would hate to add to that but boy would I give almost anything to be able to call that beautiful island home.

Alex_2259:
Only if a free house comes with it. Insanely bad housing market even worse than the states.

Probably Sweden. Similar to the commenter talking about Norway, you can get surprisingly affordable property on water outside the main cities. It’s hard to explain but I just vibe with Sweden a bit more vs. Norway, Finland, or Denmark, but overall, I love the Nordics. I don’t mind cold, I don’t mind the dark if appropriately accompanied by fun wintry things, love the values and general lifestyle. I know all countries have their problems and Sweden in particular has been struggling with integrating migrants, but nowhere is perfect.
For context, I am American, currently live in the Netherlands. And things are good here, I’m happy here, but I also…spend a lot of time in Sweden. Both my spouse and I have had work projects that have taken us to Sweden or had us working long time with a Swedish team, so we also know we vibe with the work culture etc., not only based on short vacations.

Uruguay. The Northern Hemisphere wants to destroy itself, so looking south is a good first bet. Uruguay is one of the most progressive countries in South America. Also one of the safest. Add the people and the culture and the beauty of the land to the mix and it's a clear winner.

Denmark or the Netherlands. I hear people in Denmark are happy. I would like some of that too.
Pernille 6 days ago
Danmark has very restriktive immigration laws, so good luck with that. The weather is miserable, and while we Danes are seen as happy we are also rather standoffish. Everyone speaks English but if you don't bother learning the language you will be whispered about behind your back.
#11
Norway. Honestly, one of the few countries that seems to put their own people as a whole first, all the way down to nationalizing mineral wealth instead of giving it away to private enterprise, foreign national organizations, or individuals for nothing. Already fully recognize how deleterious many of the negative decisions other countries either are continuing to make, or trying to make, just a lot less work to be done to have a functional level of government.

Spain. Beautiful cities, awesome food, wonderful culture, and casual lifestyle.
#13
I would move to Malta. I’m sixty years old and Malta is one of the top places to retire too. An island in the central Mediterranean Sea, beaches, affordable cost of living. And Malta has two spoken languages are Maltese and English. Yup with what’s about to transpire in the U.S. It gets more tempting everyday.

Alexandra 5 days ago
We've figured a lot of things out, but not the immigrant problem. We're now facing the consequences of having had a far too liberal attitude towards new-comers. There are 4th generation newc-comers who still don't speak Dutch properly and who retain their dual citizenship as a way out. I have never been so ashamed as when I saw Isrealis hunted like the Dutch jews were hunted by the Nazis in WWII, with the hunters being Moroccans. This is not why my grandfather joined the Reisistance, this is not what the majority of us wants. Which is why we have the government that we have now. Which is why underlying tensions, buried for decades, are coming to the surface.
#18
Probably not the most common answer, but I think maybe Germany. I’m of German heritage and have been learning the language the past few years now to the point of reading Harry Potter and watching some tv somewhat comfortably. I like the culture and would enjoy the challenge of adapting to what feels like a midpoint between an English speaking comfort zone and something truly new.

Croatia, along the dalmatian coast.
It's beautiful to begin with, the local food is amazing.
And there is something about their mentality and society with I very much enjoy. It's a bit more 'human' so to speak? And their society seems less polarized than what I'm used to back home.
Don't get me wrong the country where I now live the Netherlands is beautiful as well. But... It just feels a bit cold not just the outside temperature but also our society, it has something cold. We are friendly sure but... We will never invite a stranger into our homes.

I really feel at home every time I’m in Poland. I’m trying to revive the memories of the language (from my grandparents). It’s a beautiful country with great food. I also really enjoyed Iceland.

Australia, I visited there and it’s a beautiful country and I have some close friends who live there. Sure I’ve heard discrimination is a thing but that isn’t anything new to me living in the US. Seems like it’s holding up better than the US at least for now. Either that or anywhere up North in Europe (Iceland, Sweden, etc.) only problem then is I have to learn a new language.

Switzerland. Because I’ve been struggling for the past year to learn German language, to even get a chance to enter the country and do the job I love. So a shortcut would be phenomenal.

You'll have to learn the language at some level. French people keep pride on that. In Paris, or some more touristic places, you can get away with just english, but in "resl France" you'll be dead without french knowledge. Sure you will be spogtted as a not french at your first sight, but trying to speek french will raise your chances to being accepted.

Panama or Costa Rica. I already speak the language. Relatively the same flight time from Puerto Rico (where my family lives) than where I live now. And they have some of the most stable economies and political environments in South America.

Lol I’ve been asking myself this question a lot lately. If I had to choose, I’d probably be stuck between Switzerland and Portugal. Switzerland has everything you could want—insane quality of life, amazing healthcare, and education, plus the views are literally out of this world with all the mountains and lakes. Plus, it’s so easy to explore Europe from there. But then there’s Portugal, with its perfect weather, lower cost of living, and super chill, welcoming vibe. It feels like the kind of place where you can enjoy life at a slower pace, plus the history and culture are amazing to dive into. Honestly, I’m torn!

I live and work in the Netherlands after work brought me here (EU citizen, German), so it is refreshing to see "the Netherlands" in all these posts. Especially, because a lot of Dutch hate NL and leave/want to leave. Picking a country because of "had beautiful holidays there" is not a wise choice and will end in disappointment. I live in a very touristy region at the southernmost coast, can see the dunes from my bedroom. Many German tourists are jealous - until I tell them what it takes to live a moderate, small life. I almost never make it to the beach due to work, household, garden, volunteering (it is expected by te villagers and necessary to blend in). If you don't speak Dutch fluently, you can survive at work, but will never have it easy in the cosy little towns. Understanding the culture, which is totally different from the German one, takes effort. Winter is long, cold, stormy and wet. Lots of Germans are heavily disappointed after the first year, that they cannot live their beach holiday every day and that the locals are not like the constantly friendly, chatty people they encountered as tourists, but too are grumpy, tired and focused on themselves out of season.

If I were not Dutch, or not an EU resident wanting to relocate to Netherlands, I’d recommend the same location.

I've narrowed it down to Germany, Iceland,The Netherlands, Norway and Finland. With the exception of Germany, I've always loved those countries and they've appealed to me in ways I can't explain, except it looks so beautiful and peaceful. Germany however because it's my heritage. My maternal grandparents are from Germany, my grandmother became separated from her siblings (there were 15 in total) and by the end of ww2, half were unaccounted for. Some reported dead, some found, but some simply vanished. I'd love to find my missing family one day and to see where part of me came from.

Japan, probably. The highest of high technology? Sushi? Anime? (I may be slightly stereotyping here but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) Those are three of my absolute favorite things, not to mention the culture! I’d move there in a heartbeat!
