I am contemplating moving to a country that offers a more peaceful and productive environment. The ongoing challenges and distractions in my current area, such as crime and the high costs associated with education, are motivating this decision. I am looking for a place where I can flourish in a tranquil setting. Could someone offer advice on where others with similar circumstances have successfully relocated? Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations for areas that are recognized for offering affordable educational opportunities and a high quality of life. I don’t want to live here anymore.

    The reality is that most of the countries that fit what you describe don’t just let anyone in. You have to meet certain criteria to be able to lawfully emigrate.

    If you have money, no problem. If you don’t have money, you will have to be an academic, have expertise(senior systems engineer, doctor, pilot, etc.), or go to college and try to become a citizen. The process can take years and can be costly.

    Let’s look at Belgium.

    Invest hundreds of thousands of Euro into their economy, obtain a work permit under contract with a Belgian employer, gain admittance to a college and prove you can afford school, get an internship with a Belgian company, get hired as a manager or director at a Belgian company, or have a business proposal to start a business in Belgium and submit it to the government. You could always marry a Belgian, but it better be a genuine relationship.

    So you can’t just decide to move to Belgium.

    That is pretty typical for EU nations, which are probably where you want to move to for what you described.

    How about Thailand? Same deal as Belgium.

    Canada? Same deal as Belgium.
