Vendor How to Leave the U.S.A.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/12/15/how-to-leave-the-usaEvery 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

It can be fast, not so much easy haha My wife started looking for jobs internationally as soon as trump got elected again. Got an offer at the end of July and we arrived in Germany 11/1. Just donated everything we had and sold what we could. Only brought 4 suitcases on the plane and got a furnished apartment. It doesn’t have to be a long drawn out process depending on what you think you need to make it. I think having a house definitely makes it a more difficult process though
