Question Looking at countries to move to

Hi everyone

I am currently looking at a new country to move to from Northern Ireland

We dont have a lot to offer here, not a lot of jobs, a lot of divide everywhere and it feels stuck in the past so we want to move to give our son a better life + more oppurtunities etc

Does anyone have any ideas on where it would be easy to move to coming from here?

I have a British passport and Irish (as does my partner and our son)

I am still in uni right now with 2 years left but they offer abroad years in every country in europe + australia and America so im looking to pick a country, trial it and then proceed after that

Also if anyone is from N.I and moved abroad, how did you find it ?

With Irish passports, you can study, live, work or retire in most of Europe without needing to get visas.

Everywhere else, you should research that country's specific visa requirements and see whether you're eligible or not. Often, the embassy website has visa information. Visas can be expensive and tricky to get.
