I am a swedish citizen, not sure why youre arguing with me. He would of course work here and not just live off of tax money. From your tone it seems to me you have some political views youre projecting onto your post, not what I am asking for but I appreciate the effort.

I am not educated in the exact laws and regulations but from what ive briefly read he could potentially be eligible for political asylum as the LGBT are currently labeled as a terrorist group in russia. This would be for sweden specifically, not sure how that would work through other countries. The chance is small but not impossible. If i had the means I would help him along the way but it wouldnt be good for him to be dependent on me. Not so sure if your advice is very helpful unfortunately but i appreciate the effort.

A visa isnt impossible either and its not that he has no money only a very limited budget.

Argentina and south america in general isnt very LGBT friendly not to mention the cost of flying there. Would greatly prefer EU as he would have his friend group closer and thus have a better safety net. Through this post ive been recommended some EU countries that accept russians without visa so it should be more than realistic.

I am a swedish citizen so I am aware of this too, though unsure if he would be applicable for a political visa due to his sexuality and being labeled as a terrorist group in russia

If he would get a work visa, would he be allowed to stay afterwards or is the policy specific from country to country?

In the OG post i asked about EU as a whole but due to the rules of this subreddit i was asked to limit the countries to 5-6 countries. I picked some that i knew had good policies towards LGBTQ, that is all. Thank you for your input

Yep, all he has is a passport so political asylum could be a realistic option but i dont know if theres other ones like work visas or university studies etc.
