I’m interested in experiencing what its like to live abroad. But you can’t always find job opportunities from the home country. I was wondering, how difficult is a “shotgun move”?

    Depends on what the working rights situation is with the desired new country. Many countries won’t provide work visas without a job, but you can usually visit as a tourist and also do some job hunting while onshore.

      You do mention “many countries” but just a heads up to people reading that not all countries accept that you are juobhunting while on a tourist visa.
      If that’s revealed later it could mean you will not get a Work Permit or Residence Permit.

        Yes, I should’ve been clearer with the ‘usually’. People definitely need to be super clear on what they’re doing in any given country and how it might impact visa opportunities etc.
