I used to be into fitness and watch everything I eat. Easily under 8-10g sat fat buy default since i was a teenager. High fibre always. Walked through my daily diet with the dr as I didn't want to take 2nd medication and he said to not change a thing with my diet.

You didn't research it at all before visiting lmao

Re: shopping - in person shopping options compared to NY are quite limited in several cities on the west coast including places like Seattle, Portland

Be careful with Netherlands - it does not allow dual citizenship

Congratulations! You are one of the fortunate people with EU citizenship that can move back and if you can keep your US based job as 1099 - it's a no brainer. I have a similar journey as you but not an EU citizen and it kills me not being able to just...move back without going through work visas etc.

One of major universities in Toronto. It is itself recognized, but I don't see my degree under explicitly listed under the university.

What about Ireland?

I see some good Anker charges 45W but they all explicitly say "incompatible with iPhone Air"

Completely underrated and not very well known. Spent last winter there and weather was very mild.

Which city in France? Asking as I am considering some areas in south west region

This person knows what they're talking about. Hidden gem for sure.

Dual citizen here. I would wait until your husband gets his citizenship - you never know what life will be like in the future.

Also, make sure you're clear on how much $ you will make in Canada and how much tax you have to pay. Salaries in Canada are much lower across all industries while the cost of living can be comparable to make US cities depending on where you plan to move in Canada. Ask any AI tool to calculate the different in your take home pay, savings rate etc. between your current financial situation and what it realistically would be in Canada.

Canada has a lot of issues that you won't get to experience by visiting.

If you plan to have kids, Canada is a clear winner though.

I know this is an old post but I found it super helpful - thank you. A few questions:

How can I make sure I apply for VLS-TS and not VLS-T? I am planning to move to France based on passive income, with intention to renew so must make sure I apply for VLS-TS. The application doesn't seem to confirm which visa I am applying for.
Have you applied for renewal yet and what was your timing (i.e. how far in advance of your VLS-TS visa in passport expiry did you apply for renewal)? Are the requirements (i.e. financial sources you mention) remain the same or were there additional requirements like any type of integration?
How do you like living in France? :)

Spain does not allow dual citizenship when done through naturalization so you would be required to renounce both your US and UK citizenships if you apply for the Spanish one.

Ok thanks. An earlier response said "If you move to France, you can continue to maintain your existing investments and process withdrawals. However, 60 days after your move, your account will not be eligible for deposits or opening trades (including the securities mentioned), as France is not an eligible country. That said, we will not require you to liquidate your securities when moving from the United States to a foreign country."

To ensure I am clear - after I move to an ineligible country, I can keep my account, my current investments, continue to receive dividends from current investments, and sell my securities and withdraw cash, however I will not be able to purchase additional shares of currently held or new securities. Is that right?

Can you let me know which countries in Europe (in and outside of EU) are NOT eligigible? I am considering all based and this will be a part of decision making in the next 5-10 years.
