Didn't you read the answers to your identical question? Let's this in simple terms. Your visa options are:
Student Visa: you need to be accepted by a university in the country of your choice. You will need enough money to pay for accommodation, transport, food and living costs, possibly school fees. Helps if you know the language of the country. You will need to return home once your visa expires, or if you decide not to continue studying. If you have problems studying now, how will you manage in a foreign country!
Long-Stay Visa: can stay for a year or two at a time, but myst prove you have the funds to support yourself without working.
Tourist Visa: 30 days to 6 months depending on country. Must have enough money to support yourself without working, and return home when visa expires.
Work Visa/Permit: Most countries require you to get a job first, and that is difficult because no employer is going to bother employing foreigners for unskilled work, and most countries insist that locals are offered jobs first. You need decent qualifications, work skills, and a knowledge of the language of your chosen country before you'll even be considered.
So, back to square one! I suggest you make a list of the countries you would like to move to, then look at the visa information on each country's Embassy website.
Pick a country, apply to a university in that country, get a student visa for that country. Viola!, you're living temporarily in another country. Citizenship or even a work visa or eventual permanent resident status is something that might come years later after you have an advanced degree in a profession that the country in question needs. There's is way for a teen without serious work skills to immigrate to just about anywhere without family sponsorship.
Of course you can move out of the country, you can do anything with your life that you like. Unfortunatly you can't run away from yourself. There are ways of making your life not boring and repetitive without moving out of the country. Try a forein exchange program or something simular before you make such a big change. Only you can give your life meaning, and that doesn't depend on where you are.
Sounds like you need to learn how to be an adult first. That is, adulthood is hard, really hard. There are doubts and then more doubts. Does that really stop you?
When in school, teachers were paid to pay attention to you and to even help you. No more of that. NO pays attention to you anymore.
It is up to you to figure out how to do things, how to manage your money, how to manage your transportation, how to pay for the car repairs, how to manage your grocery money, how to avoid debt from credit cards, how to avoid going into and staying in debt, how to do all of this while still following your ultimate goals.
So how are you going to solve your problems if you have not yet solved them? Understand that you take your personal habits with you. So your fears at home become your fears somewhere else. Maybe just run away? Certainly more sophisticated than you were when you first were young and thought about this approach to problem-solving.
If you want a fresh start why not just transfer colleges to a new city or do a semester abroad. When you want things like this you do it in small steps. You don't just BAM up and move to another country.
Going to school is possible assuming that you can be admitted to school in another country and you have the funds to support yourself without working. It's illegal for you to work without a visa that specifically allows you to work (difficult to get). Citizenship takes years to achieve. Asking the question multiple times doesn't change the requirements.
If you are not European, you will have to arrange a visa in order to move there legally. European regulations require employers to advertise jobs and demonstrate that there are no viable European candidates for a job before they can offer a position to a non European. In the best of times non-Europeans have to have specialized skills, education and/or experience that cannot be easily duplicated by European job seekers. You're more likely to get a job that takes advantage of your education and skills than an entry level job; however, it's very difficult. Expecting a job when you don't already speak the local language or expecting employers to go to the time and expense to get you a work permit when that wouldn't be necessary for European candidates is unrealistic.
Right now, the overall unemployment rate in Italy is around 12% and it's around 37% for young people. In Spain and Greece, the unemployment rate is 27% overall and much higher for young people. In Portugal, the unemployment rate is 18% and France is seeing record high numbers of unemployed people.
My direct experience is with Italy where I lived for the past 13+ years (working for a Swedish company); other countries here in Europe will have similar rules. It's not all that different anywhere else. The site for visas in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. It also includes education visas which are somewhat easier to get than work visas. You can find similar information for other countries on their consulate websites.Visa information on the website of the French Consulate in New York is here: http://www.consulfrance-newyork.org/-Vis... . You can find other consulate websites with a fairly simple search. Note that you'll need to apply to the consulate that has jurisdiction over the state where you live, but you can find the necessary information on any of the consulate websites.
A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself in many countries. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience ... and you would have to be able to speak the local language. However, the level of English is high in Scandinavia and most adults speak it very well. You would be able to manage well while learning the language. Right now, as noted above, the best bet would probably be something in the healthcare field which is a fit for you. When I moved here, it was through a transfer of the job I was already doing in the US to the Italian office. Even so, it took 8 months to put all the paperwork in place to apply for a visa. If you already have a job offer, the company will provide you the information you need for your visa application and take care of things like work permits.
It's useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working in the places you might be interested in:
http://www.expatsinitaly.com/
http://www.escapeartist.com/
http://www.expatica.com/
You can find other sites by searching for "expat" and the name of your target country. These sites will tell you how to register your address, provide information about healthcare, banks, and so forth to ease you into daily life.
You need to be aware that if you are a US expat, you would need to file tax returns in the US as well as in your host country and that can get to be expensive.
Yes.
you won't be any smarter overseas than you are here but good luck anyway
where do you wanna live instead of America? I don't think grades should effect it, but you wanna be appplying for a passport, visa and you also need immegration papers, there is also a test involved, it's very hard moving country. embassy's are scary and they don't go easy on you either.
Well I would think so
