it’s much easier than you think it’s going to be and is practically all upside.
I’ve been an expat for a decade and a half.
the other commenters seem to be offering incorrect theories, and I’ll fact-check those
If you have a company offering you a job, they’ll be sponsoring your work visa.
If you want to open a bank account in europe, you’ll be able to with your work visa.
you will not be “on the hook” for US taxes if you are permanently relocating, living outside of the US for more than 330 days per year means that you still have to file US tax paperwork, but you don’t have to pay $125,000 USD of earned income per year.
as for American chocolate? its maybe the worst chocolate in the world. Americans have terrible chocolate.
American chocolate is to real chocolate what American cheese is to real cheese. an ersatz barnyard embarrassment.
there are no American goods you’ll want that you can’t get or find a substitute for abroad, Im half convinced that comment is satire for using American chocolate as an example.
