@eljojo I think Venezuelans might disagree about Chile. Like with every immigration story, it really matters who you are and what you’re leaving. Coming from Singapore the only step up in quality of life and career and personal life is California or New York. Nowhere else in the world is worth it. It’s a different story for someone who just needs to go somewhere.

Chinese and white people who move to Singapore have a very different experience from Indians who move to Singapore, and even then there are class differences like did you move there to write code or build a house. There are no easy immigration paths, they all suck and are getting worse.

The UK for example won’t even let spouses of citizens move there easily anymore. I know so many people who can’t go back coz they don’t make enough money to sponsor their spouse. It’s the degree to which things suck for you specifically and how much you can deal with it.

I refuse to put up with UK or Aus sucky immigration coz well, I don’t want to be there enough to want to put up with it.
