      It depends on the country, but many are just time based. We moved by getting work and education visas and are renewing them until we can apply for residency, then citizenship. Luckily we’ve been planning this for over a decade and we had managed to save up and plan… I’ve personally seen several people try to do the same and had to return to the US for financial reasons. It’s heartbreaking.

      My wife holds dual citizenship and her country has many ex-pats so they have right of return laws.

      Next month we have an appointment with the embassy with her country as well as the interviews. I also have them in a class where they are learning the language of her country.
