If I want to have plans to actually leave the United States in the next four years, where should I be looking? I have hereditary Lithuanian citizenship so I might be able to get myself in the Schengen Area with that alone but I'm lucky enough to have expertise in an unspecified industrial technology, with the caveat that I am transgender.

Right now my two choices seem to be European (Germany?) or somewhere in E Asia (Vietnam, PRC). How realistic are either of these options, namely Vietnam or the PRC.

    PRC is a no-go, at least if you're seeking naturalization. Work visas that are renewed a bunch of times seems to be the way these westerners stick around. Vietnam seems less stringent and a cool place though! I had a chance to go with a buddy to Japan and then to Vietnam (who he moved away from at 11 y/o) to visit. I should have went.

    Ireland seems cool and a somewhat socialist background. A lot of places in Europe seem to be having a rising alt-right presence which is concerning.

      Thanks! Yeah, honestly Europe isn't looking great, and if what I hear from my Euro friends is true it seems like as shit gets worse the continent's just gonna get more and more reactionary. Hopefully I'm wrong, but mainland does seem iffy long term.

        My favs to dream about are Ireland, Vietnam, China, and maaaybe some Scandinavian country (and Finland). I have a wife and kids though so it's a little hard to organize a move to another country.
