  • Many countries have entrepreneurship or innovation visas. Australia has subclass 188 visa. Canada, Japan and Korea all have a startup visa. UK has an innovator founder visa. Netherlands has the DAFT visa with the US. Thailand and USA have Amity Treaty which allows US citizens to own a business outright in a Thailand, which can be used to obtain business visa and work permit.

    Spain and Portugal have digital nomad visas that can lead to permanent residency. France has a visitor visa for up to 1 year working for foreign employers.

    Other countries to consider are: Ireland and Belgium.

    Without any of those there is moving from country to country every 90 days as a digital nomad, or until you get A2 level in a language and find sponsorship, start a business, or attend a university.



  • Want to automate your office document? Enjoy making your business dependent on a language

    • that will be a dead end for your developer career
    • where arrays can start at 0 or 1
    • where checking for an array involves ignoring an error and resuming
    • that is guaranteed to be broken a future patch
    • that has to be given permission to run in a security center

It would be a step closer to making software in more interesting fields, games, building your own product, or just writing code only for your business to help sell something else.

    There is also the database path (for example, TPS reports), but it’s another environment where you’re at the whim of a giant monolithic mystery machine. I’ve found there are no limits to depths of business logic that someone can invent for you to implement, just to save them a dollar.
