Easiest countries for Americans to move to and work? (rent, health insurance)

From what I have read and seen and heard, Mexico is very very hard to get into and stay! You need to be educated and have a trade of some kind-they won't let anyone become a citizen. I don't know all the details, but go figure, huh? Am I wrong? Does anyone have more knowledge of this?

The Americans I know there either bought a business, were sent by their company or can operate a business in the US remotely from MX...

I know a few people have mentioned ancestry visas - does anyone know how to find out if an italian ancestor renounced citizenship upon immigrating to america circa 1910? Would I check with the INS? Or who/what would have that info? Also, if an great-grandfather was born in 1900 in Marseille, France to two italian natural-born citizens, would he be considered a French or Italian (or both) citizen?

The Arab states are quite easy if you have a marketable skill. In most of them, your prospective employer and steer you through very quickly. Most of them are quite pleasant to live in and the people are very welcoming of foreigners. In many, you don't have to arrange anything in advance---just go there on a tourist visa and look around. At worst, you might be able to give private lessons in English. In a lot of American cities, thrre is an organization that will train you to teach English as a Foreign Language, and with a little bit of background and some kind of a certificate, and some (volunteer) exp[erience, you can get work in the Middle East.

I think both. I think you can get dual citzienship in most of Europe if you're the grandkid of European migrants.

The United States and Ireland soon will begin to implement a Twelve-Month Intern Work and Travel Pilot Program for post-secondary students or young people within twelve months of graduation.

Not for France.

Does anyone know how ancestry rules apply if you are adopted? I think I read once that even kids who are adopted can claim irish ancestry if their adoptive grandparents were from Ireland originally. Any other EU countries have that? Thanks

Has anyone in here ever immigrated to Costa Rica. I heard that property taxes in Costa Rica are but a mere fraction of what you'd pay as juxtapose to life in the U.S. I've heard that the people there are very friendly....housing is much less expensive, groceries...etc.. I Costa Rica is all that, then I must find a way out of crumbling nation of ours!

I can't even find a simple job working in a coffee cafe 20 hours a week here in the U.S.!
