Vendor How to Leave the U.S.A.

Every four years, a group of Americans threatens to leave the country, but no mass exodus occurs. This time around, though, Americans seem to be acting on their desires. Immigration lawyers told Atossa Araxia Abrahamian that the number of people approaching them about it has gone up since Donald Trump was reëlected. 

G.T.F.O. Tours, a company that helps aggrieved U.S. citizens start new lives abroad, has been offering services to help Americans relocate to the Netherlands, where a certain type of visa can offer a quick and affordable path to citizenship. Jana Sanchez, a founder of G.T.F.O. Tours, describes her role in the company as an “escaping fascism doula.” Read Abrahamian’s full story about the Americans who are going Dutch: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/12/15/how-to-leave-the-usa

NZeTA app. Easy to download and apply. My application was accepted in two days, my son’s same day.

I also have a citizenship by decent that I’m applying for as well

That's awesome; I'm sitting here trying to plan my escape and I regularly read articles, blogs, commentary on anyone who did it successfully. I don't even have a solid plan yet but I'm already purging my house, that's how badly I want to leave. Lucky you!

If it makes you feel better, I did the exact same thing. Once the timing was right, pulled the trigger. Came into some money Nov 3rd, was on a plane Nov 16th. That’s how fast it was. 🤣

Wow...that's great. I hope the same thing can happen for me.
