If you are country shopping for freedom I have done quite a bit of research.

My final conclusion was Costa Rica though the Bahamas is more free. But the Bahamas are more expensive.

Though there is one kick ass country in asia where the political process involves politicians rising in public office based upon the amount of parties they throw. There is certain criteria to each party including a roasted pig among other things.

costa rica is indeed a good choice (alot of gambling companies host their servers there, so it's quite open in that sense). but would avoid san jose. it's pretty much a shit hole. just score a place in santa theresa or mal pais with consistent internet connection and you're all set.

Those don't seem like coin friendly environments though. It needs to get more widespread before you can just go to the Bahamas for coin freedom I think.

Ahh, I was thinking you were talking about bitcoin laws. Yes, I doubt the adoption rate is very high though it would be a good thing to use in Costa Rica since they have an inflationary currency and many locals do not even use that currency.

I am talking about laws, but  don't want to be stuck somewhere that I can't use the coins I'm getting, lol.

by the way, you won't regret it. i lived in vancouver for a few years. it's one of the best cities in the world and that's no joke. it's beautiful, the people are nice, sushi is amazing, it's clean and has a good tech industry. damn, why did i ever leave?!

I never felt the people in Vancouver were particularly nice, but the city itself is. And the weather's not that bad really.

Still, if you want to settle in Canada you will require permanent resident status, unless of course you're a Canadian.

The reference to "youth mobility visa" for (some) Commonwealth nationals is presumably the working holidaymaker scheme. Three points of note:

- Not all Commonwealth nationals are eligible, I don't think. Jamaicans and Kenyans, for example, probably cannot obtain WHVs (AFAIK).
- The US are not a Commonwealth country. There may be some countries offering similar schemes available to US passport holders, however.
- WHVs are normally valid only for one year or sometimes two and offer no bridge whatsoever toward permanent residency, which is the status you need to settle in the country.

The WHV is a simplified guest-worker scheme suitable for those who wish to spend a short time in that country, travelling and doing incidental part-time work, mainly, and it is not for would-be immigrants.

I hope you have no record of Driving Under Influence. It is considered on-par with a murder here and your entry will be denied. Happened to a friend of mine who tried to get a work permit.

Nope.

if you're under 31 and from the commonwealth countries, youth mobility visa is the way to go

So, like try to go to College there?

nope, it's just a work-anywhere, free to do whatever kind of visa. it's for 2 years, costs like $200. easy to get, you just need a clean record and you're on your way. that's how i came to the uk.

The other way in is to have a degree in a very technical feild. High skills in a very high demand department will get you citizenship in a heartbeat if your young.

I have heard that people can come in if they are "A Great Benefit to the Country". Like, research projects and entertainers.

1. What if I started a project with Bitcoiners in Canada, do you think that would work?
2. I am part of the medicinal MJ field in Colorado, which is pretty big in BC Canada. So maybe I could try to work it into next years 4/20. I wouldn't mind going to Canada Smiley

Back in the bush era when everybody was talking about it I found out how hard it is. Like anything in this world its all about one thing, money. I rember $350,000 was the number but that was 10 years ago so $400,000 sounds about right there. You don't need to spend this money on the process to get in. They just want to make sure you are bringing something to the table and not moving there broke. You can invest that money in a busniess or a house but I guarantee they won't count bitcoins  Cheesy

Or marry in. This is actually a method of choice for the lazy and poor  Wink
